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.

I wonder if it really bit them or if they stood on the venomous spikes.

My dad was a scuba diving instructor and when we I learned to dive with him, he told me to not mess with puffer fish (some instructors would handle them to show their clients how they puffed up) as he considered some of them quite aggressive and packing a nasty bite. I have seen larger puffer fish crack mussels, so their bite is quite strong.

There are cases if people dying from Fugu in VN all the time and, IIRC, there were a few cases in Cambodia too.

There have been quite a few cases here, as far as I know the fish is just eaten whole without removing the toxic parts.
