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.

Catch of the day. Her ass must have been like a machine gun shooting those out. Sad, Venezuela isn't exactly a hotspot for employment right now. Probably a lot more eager mules waiting in the wings.

They probably found out in Thailand. Even when you transit you have to go through those body scanners rather than simple metal detectors. Again: why risk being a mule at 26 using techniques from the 60s and 70s when technology to catch you have evolved way beyond that... I do feel bad for her as she was likely in a bad situation. Still, the choice is always yours.

she's lucky one did not burst inside her.

agree; with body scanners its just not worth it anymore for $1,000-2,000.

Pretty sure she'd get paid way more than that, even in Venezuela. I would have thought 6-10k, but I honestly have no idea.
