Swiss Woman Lost and Found on Koh Rong

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.

Evidently never took her Girl Guides orienteering course.

Forgot her multi-purpose Swiss Army Knife with built-in compass

Disregarded the appropriate clothing for entering snake-infested areas.

Happy ending though..

Good work the police

The highly useful "night-vision" Raybans took precedence - stylish looks of course have priority when exploring jungle.

Any FB or Instagram 101 teaches that..
