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.

In Cairns we buy Battambang rice, 20kgs is $54. Lasts for weeks, good rice.
That is 2,7$ per kg. That is more expensive than buying 1 kg in a supermarket here in Europe (about 2,00$ p/kg, 8.60$ for 5 kgs) . That suprises me. Or is it better rice than the basmati rice here?

Just heared my GF pays 1,25$ per 2 kg on the market in PP. But that comes from Vietnam, as most of the cheap food in PP. But she also tell me that there is plastic in some of the voetnamese rice. :stir:

She tells me, she prefers to buy from farmer.

That BS rumor has been around for a while. It ignores the fact that it would cost more to make rice sized pieces of plastic than it would for actual rice, and that it would likely float.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

That is what she says. It floats and it does not absorb water.
