British Man Arrested in Kampot for Drug Traffic

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.

It all depends on how MDMA is viewed but the Belgian guy got life for 1kg of Cocaine som 260gram of MDMA could be a lengthy one.

I wonder what the street value is? A gram goes for how much ? $100?
It was 3,500 baht on the Thai islands 5 or 6 years ago, so $100 is definitely in the right area.

Almost twice the price of gold. No wonder they are not deterred by serious jail time.

I have edited my response. You and anyone who reads it, knows what you typed and implied with the 8th-grade level comment. Hell, that I thought was funny. Man up and own it.

The point is that there are a lot of accountants, engineers, and financial types on this forum that have a good grasp of numbers and units and can quickly tell to the price of commodities such as gold or this type of manufactured material

You have edited what response? What are you talking about?

My original post "My, we do have some well-informed members here, don't we", was just an off the cuff smart arse comment which seems to have been taken incorrectly by some. God only knows why.

You, Raven, seem intent on pushing your luck on a number of threads today. Once again, god only knows why.
Keep it up and you might find a holiday coming your way very soon. Why not try pulling your head in.

I know of a few English guys that have moved to Kampot as of late that get up to no good this might scare them enough to leave.
