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.

At least she didn't steal the baby's i-phone.

With her being ‘old’ at 41, does that place the vast majority of contributors on this forum in decrepitude? (Just gloss over some of the curmudgeonly behaviour that goes on)

It's all relative. Locals tend to marry very young so could easily be grandparents by 41. Westerners tend to have had easier lives and likely won't start a family till their 30s at least, and due to better health care and nutrition may not age or die so quickly.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
