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.

That can't be true Om UT. Look at Phum Ben Day. This year Phum Ben is 12 13 14 and next year phum ben will be on 30 September and 1-2 October.

Every time there is a holiday on a mid week day, you might as well write the rest of the week inc the following weekend and sometimes the next Monday morning off as regards getting trade work done! They sure like to party here!
