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.

Takeo Ex Governor's House Caught Fire

Takeo: On May 14 at 1:30 pm, there was a fire at the Ex Governor's house, Kong Someoun, Snor Village, Sangkat Rokar Knong, Takeo. The fire was allegedly caused by an electricity explosion.
The house owner said that before the fire everyone was having lunch and relaxing under the house. By the time that they realized the house was on fire, a lot of the upstairs had already burnt. Then they contacted the firefighters a bit late, and the fire burned down the whole house in 30 minutes flat.

Is this the same family involved in the murder/fake suicide of the National Assembly staffer?

That's an interesting question.
No names mentioned in that article. Trying to find out if there's a connection.

The name is mentioned. Kong Someoun. Also shown at the top of the video. Not the same as the murderer/fake suicide.
