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.

I tend to sleep in the nude. Which isn't a bad thing except for maybe on those long flights.

That's not a massage. That's the cupping, if the place isn't actually just a handjob shop (which also isn't just 10,000R). Many of the places you see with those signs are just fronts for a sex shop. Some are actually legit places to get the cupping/coining stuff done (which khmer consider a form of massage) and some will actually give you a regular massage but it costs more than 10,000R (bus is still super cheap). Sort of a crap shoot on which kind you'll get.

What part of town are you in? Steung Meanchey? If so I can direct you to a really nice oil massage.

Shhh, I wasn't going to tell him!

That said, I have found a few places that actually give you a legit massage at the 10,000 Riel places. Hit or miss.

I wondered. The missus and I usually look for a legit place together in a new town so I can relax getting a massage, and she can relax about me getting a massage. This seemed too cheap, I'm used to paying $4 for an oil massage in PP. I had cupping in China, supposedly good for diabetics but I'm still not convinced.

We're currently at a certain Australian's establishment near Sovanna markets.

It's really a win/win. You just don't know what kind of smile you'll have walking out.
