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.

So...he was in Cambodia 3 weeks?
Where the fuck did this dying man have to leave?
Thailand?
Imagine dying of lung cancer and having to make a road trip to Batburg?
I feel for you Sir.
I don't want to be a burden on my young Khmer wife..but, I sure don't want to go back to the US and die alone.
Rest in Peace ..

I'm a bit surprised that he was able to enter Cambodia as a tourist on April 18th. All land borders were long closed, where could he have flown in from?

Well then again it doesn't really matter anymore. RIP.

I think there is a misunderstanding. The news item said he had been in Cambodia a year on an ER visa which expired on April 18, not that he arrived on that date.
