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.

Jesus, I suspected he was a little depressed but damn. I didn't know it was this extreme. I hope he is enjoying the delicious food in heaven. RIP

His roommate nor I believe he killed himself. His name was Laurent Diardiere, although on his suitcase (first class for life label) they spelled his first name without the letter "t", Lauren Diardiere.

I have no idea if he was ever identified. Nobody came to his apartment on Diamond Island to investigate. It's extremely bizarre he rented a shitty hotel room when he had a nice apartment on the 29th floor in one of the largest buildings on Koh Pich.
