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.

2000 riel can be a lot of money when you don't have it.

Poipet International Border Checkpoint, 29 May 2017.
- Mr Nhanh is accused of seriously wounding fellow cart-puller Yoeun Yorth, 25, by slashing him on the shoulder with a long knife.
Kong Sreng, a Poipet City police officer, said the suspect had borrowed 2,000 riel ($0.50) from the victim a few days earlier, so he could buy a packet of cigarettes.
On the day of the incident, the victim reminded the suspect about the debt and asked for his money back. The suspect refused and an argument ensued.
“The suspect got angry because the victim kept asking for his money back. He then took a long knife from inside his cart and attacked the victim,” Mr Sreng said.
