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.

How can the 92 FS (Taurus copy of a Beretta M9) cost that much in Cambodia? About 600-800 USD new in the states.
It's not a Taurus though. I've never heard of anyone using them here. It's a Beretta 92 Compact INOX. All you'd get for $600 here might be some terrible Chinese Makarov copy or whatever. Berettas and Glocks and any quality guns will cost four or five times what they might cost in the US. And of course it's not like just anyone can go in and buy one.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Tbh the type 59 ( makarov copy ) its not such a terrible gun, its actually a 1:1 copy of the original, but the ones you can found around in cambodia been use too much, stored in dirt place and poor cleaning ect so they are indeed in terrible state.
