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.

Meanwhile, the French government just donated 40 million for water sanitation... Ô REALLY wish foreign governments would donate more to this starving country.

A few blocks in the right place at the right price are doing ok but the rest are empty. This bubble is going to coming crashing down soon

don't forget the 1 child policy and its effect. a very high proportion of those 1.1 billion are not interested in going anywhere, and the Chinese birth rate fell again last year. Aging population and all that, and they are not all rich by any means. Cambodia is like benidorm was to brits. At first everyone went there, but quite quickly people wanted to go somewhere differenct and benidorm suffered as people moved on to detinations further afield and more exotic.

Phnom Penh (FN), March 19 - Tous Saphoeun, Deputy Secretary General of Board of Architects Cambodia and Director of Architects of Thai Bun Rong Company (TBRC) said on Monday that TBRC has held a groundbreaking ceremony for the forthcoming construction of “Thai Bun Rong Trade Center".

Tous Saphoeun said that the 133-story center was constructed on 49,732 square meters of land and 561.7 meters high, with a cost of over $3 billion.

"This world-class center includes 5-star hotel, luxury condominium, apartment, world-class office, shopping mall, restaurant and many world-class entertainment and sightseeing attractions in Phnom Penh. The project can accommodate 3,800 cars and 3,000 bikes”, he added.

The project was announced in March 2016, a joint venture between Thai Bun Rong Company and a Chinese company, and this 600-meter twin tower will be built on the land of former Dream Land Park, opposite of Naga World.

They shouldn't be let loose planning for anything above tree-height, let alone a world-ranking skyscraper.
The ministry aren't planning it, it's the Royal Group. The ministry just approves the plan.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
