Man Kills Himself Out Fishing

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.

RIP Leng Leang,

It's sad people go to such lengths to try and make a living ( Or to eat ).

The competent authorities should attempt to educate the locals regarding the dangers of standing in water while dropping in electric cables.

Next thing is you will be wanting to educate people about simple things like stopping at the red traffic lights.

As far as I know, electric fishing has been banned for years. But in a country where people hide under the only tree for miles around during a thunderstorm, there is a looooong way to go.
