Violence in Sihanoukville

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.

Check out this site.

They charge you $20 to register for you. That's hilarious!

They get the questions from the embassy site. They send you the questions. You answer the questions. You send them the filled out questions. They read your answers and answer the questions on the embassy site for you.

WoW, talk about a pointless middleman.

I was living in SEasia for several years. Never registered. Never had problems.

I've lived here for many years. Went to the embassy to renew a passport. No questions.

And I don't expect any hassle when going back next time either.

There isn't a rule that you have to register anywhere.
Yeah I know :). I should have included a "just messing with you" statement.

Ya lol I was first thinking you were serious about that. About not registering with the STEP program. I was like WTF?!

Of course I've never had a problem even after not registering for all my travels around the Middle East.

Travisa :facepalm: looking to make a quick $20, good to find visa requirements free though.

Yeah I thought it was just "suggested" so that if you go missing and people are looking for you the embassy knows you were here.

Meanwhile in Chicago, a city that gets 50 million tourists a year, 82 people were shot in an 84-hour window around the 4th of July. Maybe we should kill more people down here to up tourism.

I'll register with the US embassy dweebs about the same time pigs sprout wings, shoot flames out their butts and fly.

As to the beach. Situational awareness. Just give up your valubles? That just encourages them. Like rats, a little slice n' dice on the leader and the rest go back to the provinces to plant rice. None of them are pros, just opportunists. Get drunk alone and stagger, your a target.

Maybe Chicago should stop celebrating the 4th of July.

How many of those 82 people shot were tourists?
