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.

A Swiss Man Kneeled Down and Apologized to People after He Used 100 riel Note as Cigarette Paper

Sihanoukville: This incident happened in the night on 12 January 2016 as there was a man whose facebook account named Sambath Meas posted pictures on 13 January 2016 of a Swiss man tourist kneeled down and said sorry to people in Sihanoukville after he used 100 riel not as cigarette paper. This kind of action is considered insulting for Cambodia currency and people. However, people forgave him and accepted his sincere apology after the Swiss man acknowledged his fault and dared to kneel down to apologize. People thought it was a good that foreigner acknowledged their fault.
