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.

Unfortunate, but pretty standard practice. The beggar kids at Phsar Toul Tom Poung have been doing it for years. They tend to target tourist women, who, because they are kids, tend to allow them to get closer than they would allow an adult, even touching the kids and allowing the kids to crawl on her. And while the tourist woman is cooing and saying 'oh, they're so cute,' little Sophea is behind her pulling the wallet and camera out of her bag.

This has been going on for years, and nothing was ever done about it.

I would say they are cleaning up town but this week I saw the milk-powder scammers were back after they had disappeared for a few weeks.

That is really sad about those kids. They should be sent to school in their age.
