53 Arrested in Drug Raid on Sihanoukville Skyline Club

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.

WhenI was in Sihanoukville, I passed by this club but I have never tried to get in there. My friend told me that it's place for rich party-people.

it was not bad the last time i went. Maybe 2 to 3 years back... Had a great time there. The free-flow of fruit platters kept me a bit hydrated while boozing. Not a bad place... Nobody disturbed us, and my group was left alone to party as we wish. Can't remember the music though.. was probably too sloshed.
