8 foreigners rescued off sinking boat going to Koh Rong

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.

8 foreigners rescued off sinking boat going to Koh Rong

Post by Anchor Moy »

1 April 2017. At around 5:30pm on Saturday, a supply boat headed to Koh Rong with supplies and passengers lost control of the rudder and was swamped. A tourist on a passing Koh Rong Samleon excursion boat reports seeing smoke coming from the engine. Fortunately a boat was sent out from Koh Rong and managed to recover all 16 people aboard, 8 of them foreigners.
