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.

I drove past it yesterday as it was headed up Sereypheap. Looked fine, just a big horse, really, no idea what all the hand wringing was all about.

Doesn't the big fella stroll over from Kampot every year? Poor thing must be lonely, elephants are social animals. At the zoo they are all chained up together, thats much better for them.

I'm wondering if you checked to see if it was really the trunk end the water squirted from. It's hard to tell sometimes, as both ends of a elephant look the same.

looks to be a neat way to travel :)
fella is reclining in that last pic. But feeding it might be problematic, they do eat a lot. Pretty sure your ride would not get stolen tho.
