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.

The article doesn't make it clear whether the speaker was being shipped and was being collected at the destination, and by whom. But, dollars to donuts, the women were being used as the mugs told to collect and deliver the speaker with his nibs keeping a safe distance.

I hope they give him 30 years...

In Europe if you are dealing while African (or you want to impress dumb chicks) footballer is a good lie.
Here it's a dumb lie. There are no football teams here that can afford to pay for foreign players.
A much better lie would be quality control at a textile factory or something like that.

The local football teams here have been hiring African players for a long time. Check out the team photos of Phnom Penh Crown, Nagaworl FC, Svay Rieng FC, Takeo FC etc and you might notice this.
