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.

In Cambodia it is caused by a lot of small fires, which are people burning off their rubbish. Yes, there are enough small fires to create a haze. On many days it is worse than Sydney.
I talked to one Cambodian man, and told him he can get rubbish collected for $4 per month. That is what neighbours were paying. He did not want to pay $4 per month. He wanted to burn it. (Prices of rubbish collection may vary from place to place.)
Cambodia should work towards rubbish collection in all towns and villages. They could have different companies doing it in different places. Then make paying for rubbish collection compulsory. Then make having a bin compulsory. Then introduce a second bin for recycling.
and hopefully just stop using as much plastic so theres less to pick up
