Roberts sun tour boat goes up in Flames

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.

Any updates on this situation?

I'm sure The CSI team have gotten all the results back from the samples they had to send to the lab for testing.

The owner believes it was arson, the police say it was a gas explosion.

For a gas explosion you need a spark or a naked flame, so for the first time in recorded history, we can assume that the police may be wrong.

Apparently there was a meeting of the local tour operators to try to shut out the main island transport provider...three hours before the boats burned.
