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.

RIP to the poor guy though. I've gone over pot holes that were way deeper than I thought and almost went end over end.

I avoid those things at all costs and I'd even walk a mile for a camel to avoid one of those. I mean look at those tires, I've eaten bigger donuts. A good NYC pothole would absorb that whole "vehicle." At least the poor driver is in a country where it's OK to be dead. Too young though, may he RIP.
