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.

White Car Turns Black After Swim in Phnom Penh Canal

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On February 11, 2020, at around about midnight, a Toyota Prius car was being driven at high speed along national road 4 in Phnom Penh, when suddenly it left the road and drove into a filthy black smelly canal.

Fortunately, neither the driver nor the passenger were injured. Because no one was hurt and no other vehicle was involved, when police came to inspect the accident scene, they allowed the car owner to have his vehicle lifted out of the canal and taken away for repairs and cleaning without further ado.

Hotwheels now make cars that change colour when dipped in water. Much cheaper

They probably did more damage to it lifting it out with chains than it did going into the sewer :dm:
