Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

that's freaking horrible. I have seen A LOT of stolen motos lately. I know a spot where they take them and strip off their plastics and either leave them off or spray paint them. I've seen more in the past 2 weeks than I've seen in 2 years.
Still here, in country...

Prey Veng district is huge but the actual town of Prey Veng is pretty small but growing pretty fast these last few years, don't know why there's nothing there, it's where they built that huge canoe on display at the water festival
