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.

I think he may have also stolen the shoes he’s wearing, they look about 10 sizes too big for his feet.

This passes as serious crime?

What about the young women who recently fell out of high rise building lately or the drug dealers with the AK47 and their successful shoot-out with the police (and got away). Any updates or arrests in those matters? Or are they too busy chasing stolen tuks?

Usually the serious crime unit is very busy catching little old ladies playing cards.
