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.

Ah,h they didn't want to smile for the police pictures??? I actually feel like I was catfished by the before and now photos.

In the picture with all the perps and table of confiscated gear, there is a brown tube type thing I cannot figure out what it is. It's on the table in the back right. Any ideas as to what it could be?
Still here, in country...

But wait there's more: 'Most users ever online was 3011 on Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:06 pm' That time coincided with her announcement and ranting vids that she was sleeping on the street with her adopted family.

....need we say more? 8)

Well, I for one, still think that she had a couple of good days left in her. :bow:

Although, I’m not sure if the same could be said of the Riverside Photographer. :evil:

That thing on the table, the brown tube thingy top right, I had to zoom in on it, but I’m reasonably sure that it’s a piece of bamboo.
