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.

Hike in Tuol Sleng and National Museum ticket prices held off until July
Wed, 15 March 2017

The Ministry of Economy and Finance has agreed to delay scheduled entry fee increases at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the National Museum until July, in response to complaints from businesses that cater to tourists.

That national museum is a disgrace. When my brother visited, he felt robbed and I couldn't blame him. I brought him there because, well, that's where you bring people in Phnom Penh. However, it was slightly overpriced at $5 so $10 is downright ridiculous unless they revamp it or something. It's one thing to increase the price of Angkor Wat, but the museum has to rank among the worst national museums in the world when it comes to value.

So it's still the same? Felt underwhelmed when I first visited it more than 10 years ago. In fact, it barely registers in my memory.

I still haven't been, but a friend said after she visited that the building was more interesting than the displays.
