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.

I would be rather worried myself if I was chased by those weirdos.

chuckle, so would we probably
if we had just had our faces severely punched about by those cops standing immediately behind
- like every one of poor sad dumfenarkles looks like just happened to them.

actually, probably is.
My bet is they are ag workers from whatshisnames big mango and palm oil spreads in K.Speu.
They employ lots of guys that look just like this - living their hard-scrabble lives.
Pay's Ok - up to 10 bucks a day.
