Tropical Rain Storms Cause Massive Flooding in Sihanoukville, Cambodia

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.

its worse!! the bleeding pipe acts as dam stopping the water running into the road now called Pub street, then the sea.....
There's a reason New Pub Street floods, the "developer" decided it would be a cunning wheeze to save money if he put in 32mm drain pipes, rather than 100.

The road right outside Apple guest house no longer holds back 100m of water causing a big puddle as the road was resurfaced in the dry(well almost dry its rained every month this year so far) season taking away the damming effect caused by the earlier pipeline and speed bump. Its almost flat there until the road to the new pub street sign where it dips. further along though there is still places where a lot of water lies- but only a few inches deep.
