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.

Before the incident, a group of 5 people were in a car, when they came across the flooded road. They decided to drive through the flood waters anyway, but unfortunately, the car engine stalled in the middle of the flooded road, and the car was swept away by the strong current.

Two people died as a result of the accident, and the other three were injured. The two deceased were identified as Leng Chanpheara, 28 years old man, a military officer, and Som Song, the retired military officer. Three people who got injured were identified as Ta Kmao, 58 years old, Khorn Khen, 27 years old, and Song Meth, ten years old.

Some years ago, I would drive that road many times a day.

None of the streams had proper culverts under the road, so could wash out easily.

Looked a bit deep, but not very fast moving.
