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'm surprised there are not more accidents/deaths on the roads in Snooky. They drive so crazy and know that there no police to curb their obnoxious driving habits. I have driven every kind of motorcycle for 54 years, love to ride and refuse to drive one in Snooky anymore. I blame the do nothing police. I have been setting at stop lights (usually by myself) and had police bikes/cars/trucks run the red light. Great example for then people. Not!

Then when you have an accident there is almost no emergency services. I mean even Kampot has a modern hospital. Don't even get me started on the drunk/crazed container/beer truck drivers on Hwy #4 (Death Highway to Hell.) What ever happened to: "lets rebuild the railroad and put the containers from the port on the trains and not the highway?"

Railway is needed for the Kingdom.....but Sailor , I have also ridden all my life which is why I feel I have an advantage , seeing that I made and learned from motorbiking mistakes when my body was still young....
Plus I use my mirrors and ride passive - aggressively at the right time.....bikes I love um...will ride till I die....no doubt by some drunk container driving loon....we need a railway asap...
I was born with nothing , and I still have most of it left.

Every km I have to dodge 4 or 5 suicidal imbeciles. It wears on ya & takes all the fun out of the ride. The one blessing is that it keeps me from even thinking about driving drunk.

We have a new railroad, but the container truck mafia pays $$$$$ to keep the trucks on the road. The head of the new/big dry container port says that the containers are not on the trains because the "paperwork hasn't been done yet." Is that paperwork as in $$$$$$?

You can use your mirrors and drive as conservative/defensive as you want, when you've got people that have no idea about laws or how to drive you are going to be a statistic sooner or later.
