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.

Fuck fuck fuck.

I knew him really well, we worked together a few years back, really nice guy.

Went back to oz to go through uni, he was huge, but lost a ton of weight 'tonnes of fun' was his nickname.

He's been counting down the days to come back to visit, and was enjoying landing in Shitsville a few days ago.

I know they all say this, but he wasn't on drugs (at least from what I saw).

It takes a fair bit to shock me, but shocked and upset I am. A good fellow.

Rip Mike.

Michael was a dear friend of mine and I'm absolutely heartbroken about these news. He loved Cambodia and was here on vacation. Even though he was studying full time he still managed to meet his friends, former students and former colleagues. Michael was a sweetheart and he will be missed by all of those that had the pleasure to meet him.

He didn't smoke or do drugs. I know this for a fact.

Please, if you write something remember that his friends and family are looking, trying to make sense of it all.

Rest in peace my friend, I love you
