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.

After receiving a call from Victoria Casino security, Poipet police arrested two shady-looking characters that were suspected to be pick-pockets. To their surprise, the two men were in fact recreational drug users who were acting suspiciously.

The two suspects were arrested for drug dealing in Poipet's casinos. One of them is Cambodian, the other Thai; the Cambodian was identified as Taing Porroath, 45, while the Thai man was named as Phanya Mung Charoenchai, 33.
Both men are known drug dealers and gamblers, and both tested positive for drug use. They face two to three years in prison if found guilty.
“They were active drug dealers who always brought drugs to sell to gamblers in casinos in Poipet,” Mr Sopheak [deputy commander of Poipet city military police] said.
He added that most of the foreign gamblers in casinos in Poipet used drugs.[ Khmer Times]
