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.

One hell of a story. Something almost happened, but didn't.

If you add enough postscripts to the story General, you might have a real story.

NOT JM;
and it doesn't look anything like the heading
"almost burns to the ground"
or the sentence,
"...came close to catching on fire because of a forest fire."

Um, Garage Bar has had a total of 3 owners that I'm aware of.

If that were your boat/house, you'd think that was pretty close in a forest fire. :stir:

That fire truck is awfully close to Tara Riverboat. I wonder why he's parked right next to the riverboat if there's no fire nearby. :facepalm:

Truly baffling.

Fine the owners have a bested interest. I don't hence the news should be more riveting than something bad could've happened but didn't.
