Always enjoyed my 2000 riel worth of laughs and giggles in the Cambodian Daily, but now the price has gone up to 2500 riel, will I get an extra laugh or will i get an extra news item on Cambodia.

i remember my favourite noodle house in PP went up 500r this year from 5000r to 5500r,
i thought its very smart, that extra 500r is barely noticeable to me, but because they are a really popular khmer joint and always busy,
it boosts their profit by 10%, unless their rent had gone up and they had to try raise their price to make up for it

2000KHR was too much for me.

I buy 6 newspapers a day;
Nokor Thom, Rasmei Kampuchea, Kampuchea Thmey, Phnom Penh Post Khmer, Nokorwat, & Koh Santepheap.
Each one is 1000 Riel. No way am I buying a 2500 Riel, A4 size, extremely slim newspaper.

Cambodia Daily I read online via private browsing to get around the subscription thing. But to be honest their stories are most often a day late after one of the Khmer language newspapers has broken a story, or for more sensitive political stories a day after RFA, RFI or VOA has published a story online. Very rarely do they have original content, but when they do it's well researched and written.
