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.

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.

and while all these people are beig banged up for selling a few lottery tickets our Chinese friends are building huge onlineand in house gambling halls which Cambodians go to and nothing happens. I would be a lot more worried about Mr Khmer blowing his paycheque in a casino than buying a $1 lottery ticket
