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.

Swedish Tourist PEKKA ASTROM gets Bag Snatched in Kampong Thom

Kampong Thom: On June 10 at 4:15 pm, a 62 year old Swedish male tourist, PEKKA ASTROM, had his bag snatched while he was riding a bicycle on national road 6, Trach village, Stong district, Kampong Thom.

Before the incident, the victim rode his bicycle from Siem Reap and put his bag in the basket in front of the bicycle. He planned to stay at Sokemix hotel in Stong distrct. While he was on the way to the hotel, two suspects snatched his bag which contained his possessions, namely some clothes, an LG phone, a passport, and US$ 300.

The police are now searching to arrest the two thieves. Let's hope that the Swedish man gets his bag back.

Is it just me, or does Pekka Åström's YouTube page make him look like a pedophile?

Also strange, all things considered.



And a blog shot of his ugly mug.

lets hope pekka kept his pecker to himself. Kinda disturbing material, Kampong Thom is a bit off the beaten tourist route as well. not that there is anything wrong with exploring but there's maybe less eyes on you than Siem Reap.... :stir:

:bad:
Clearly creepy. Drooling over those girls as "Young Pussy" is clear enough. And why was he posting pictures of kids that he took in 2009 with his creepy comments? It's not the videos, it's the titles and comments that go with them that are ewww.
I certainly wouldn't leave him alone with any kids.

I even reckon the whole thing is creepy enough that the police should check out his phone for dodgy photos when they get his bag back. Maybe the thieves have done a good turn ?
