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.

I believe I followed it out of kk, yesterday. It was red and diamond shaped, as opposed to it's original square shape, and the left side of the bus had clearly born the brunt.
Surprised the driver survived if I saw the right bus.
And yes, it was on the back of a truck.

Hence. Sit on the middle of the bus on the right side for optimal survival rate (and it's less bumpy when you sit in the middle)
