Tunneling to Thailand

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.

Go North 20 km, walk/ ride/ drive across the border, do what you want and then walk/ ride/ drive back. Too easy.

i have entered/exited Cambodia into Thailand a few times by accident, missing immigration, as i knew i needed the entry or exit stamp, just walked back to get stamped out. In Oct walked into Poi pet thru the border, stayed the night and next day walked back to Thailand, no one said a word. No immigration stamps

18 December 2017
- A National Police report said that authorities in Thailand were checking a fence in Aranyaprathet district when they caught the migrating workers.

The report said the hole, which was less than a metre wide, was dug under the fence by brokers to transport workers into the country at a rate of about $20 per person. Thai police have now taken the people arrested to the Sa Kaeo provincial police office for further questioning in order to track down the brokers.

Soum Chankea, provincial coordinator for rights group Adhoc, said in the past workers had been crossing the border illegally through the roof of a building but had now turned to digging holes.

With what's been going on here lately with the creation of emigrees, the Thais should be offering them asylum seeker status.
