Rock-Climbing Teen Saved by Team Work

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.

Kampong Speu, Cambodia News: A slip into a crevasse almost cost a 17-year-old boy his life, while he and friends were climbing among caves in Anlong Por village, Pong Lvea commune, Oudong district, Kampong Speu province on October 30, 2018.
The boy, Sok Lay, slipped and found himself trapped in a crevasse for several hours, and the outcome could have been tragic, but that was without counting on the willing rescuers, who moved heaven and earth to save the lad. Despite the difficulties, he was eventually extracted from the narrow gap between the rocks.

Wow, that makes me feel ill just looking at the photos of him wedged in there. How terrifying. He is one lucky boy to have been extracted.

Is that what you call being stuck between a rock and a hard place?
