Two Crocodiles Caught; 2 Men Bitten in Kampong Thom

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.

Well, there is even doubt that the supposedly last three Siamese in Thailand, in Khao Yai, are actually Siamese.

These ar crocs that escaped from one of the farms. There are hardly any pure Siamese crocs left, I believe the last ones are in the Cardamons.
Yes, I was thinking of this thread where conservationists found some Siamese Crocodile eggs (Crocodylus siamensis) last year in Koh Kong province, and it's really a big deal : newsworthy/endangered-siamese-crocodile ... ile%20eggs
