Necklace snatch-and-grab foiled by valiant tuktuk driver, Phnom Penh.

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.

You're probably better off shooting them, it's not like there's some sort of social welfare net to scoop up the dregs of society and reform them, these people are stuck in this existence. Plus, as we all know there's little in the way of justice here. You'd be doing everyone a favour, plus they get another spin of the wheel. Maybe they'd pop out better next time.

So five gang members stole guns but decided to leave those at home and attack you with knives?

Do you live in South America?
