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.

Nope, but I know the Koreans and Japanese would have the rest of it into a bowl of noodles faster than your can say, "released into the wild"..

If you wore snakeskin shoes in this town you would get yourself a reputation very quickly. And not a good one.

Let's keep an eye on any senior police chief pictures in the news and see if anyone is sporting a pair...

I have a rattle from a southeastern rattle snake in my apartment in Siem Reap.
They get run over crossing roads. I did not kill the snake. I got out and cut the rattle off..they usually have a rattle for each time they shed their skin
I did shoot one next to my house years ago and my neighbor cooked it...it needed some garlic butter basting.
I have been intrigued by snakes since I was a kid.
Khmer people eat about a million snakes a year around Siem Reap.
I love when I see that a big snake is saved.
But, a bit apprehensive for how long.
