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.

PHNOM PENH 25 December 2017
- A volleyball player got a nasty surprise when he tried to wake up a tuktuk driver to take him home after a match at the volleyball court near Freedom Park, Phnom Penh. After he tried and failed to shake the driver awake, he realised the man must be dead.
The deceased was identified as a 27 year old man from Prey Veng province who was living in his tuktuk. The cause of death was given as a heart attack and the body was handed over to the family for funeral rites.

Cambodia is 99th in the world. Turkmenistan is number 1 for heart attacks. The top 10 are all former Soviet Union.

Tuk tuk drivers can take some credit for the fact that Cambodia is number 11 in the world for fatal drug overdoses.

They mustn't count suicide bombers.
