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 they're lucky, Otres Village will be washed into the sea.

it's still raining this morning down here - the two roads behind Occheauteal beach (Occheauteal St (500) & 23 Tola Street) have big floods on them and the rain water runs through a lot of the bar areas to the sea - at least it might wash some of the sewage of street 502 -Serendipity Beach Street
There is a third road (Poulowai Street 300) which is crested in the middle and for the most part is usually free from floods.
Street 500 now floods at the bottom of the hill since a pipe was installed but not fully underground ...and the requirement for a concrete hump over it........

They don't give a flying f&%k about drainage , perhaps they would like a donation from a western country to fix there piping problem.
