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.

me thinks there's something wrong with that meter if it's testing for booze (breathalyzer). a reading of 0.68 would be just a wee bit past dead if one is to believe what's reported on the internets....

just sayin'

Not if it is measured the European way. The legal limit in Germany is 0.5, 0.868 would be 2-3 beers.

Maybe open a pinned thread titled, Daily, weekly acts of driving stupidity by those who should never be given control of anything with an engine. I would wager there would be probably more posts on Chinks than locals.

Blood alcohol and breath alcohol are two different things, and different units are used in different countries.
1/100 g/mL = 1 g/dL = 9.43 mg/g = 217.4 mmol/L = 10 permille = 0.1 basis points.
Guessing the meter is mg/g.
In England and Wales the legal limit is 350 microgrammes of alcohol per litre of breath or 0.08% blood alcohol.
Ditto.

The planet really needs to get together an decide on one way of doing this. This is confusing as shit every time.
