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.

That's really terribly saddening to hear, he was a great poster, one of the best, a voice of reason.

Really sorry about that.

poor kids, :-(

I posted the same message on another form but the sentiment remains.

Hello friends.

This is LTO's daughter. I would like to inform you all that LTO has not been confirmed to be dead or alive yet so there is still a chance my mother will be able to find him here. Please send your prayers and wishes and contact me here if you see anything. There is faith.

-Kena.

Updated news

The body of Ken Cramer was found on Thursday night floating downstream of where the boats were docked. His relatives were alerted about the finding. He was wrapped in a plastic bag and lifted up from the water and was later taken away on a boat from the place where his body was found.

A lot of videos of the scene were live on Facebook, mostly shooting from a distance, as there was request from his family to not shoot upon his face.

Does anyone have a good picture of Ken? I was just thinking a few days back, before this, that he was one poster I'd "known" for years, but couldn't put a face to. I'm pretty sure I did know him.

I have a random picture of him somewhere from one of the CEO meet-ups or something I think. Not sure if I can even find it.

Glasses, shaved head, if that helps jog your memory. Maybe even had a white goatee last time I saw him, but it's been a year or 2.

Man, I've been thinking about him all day. Really goes to show that your time can come at any random minute of any random day without a single hint of warning.
