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.

Pretty good spotting by the Khmers. Man, the Viets just can't stop themselves from adulterating food. The Khmers also banned Thai pork exports -- African Swine Flu infected pork and, in the past, headed off shipments of spoiled pork.

At least some little bit of the tainted foods sold in Cambodia is discovered and destroyed..a drip in the ocean i fear. Its a shame that Thailand and Vietnam treat Cambodia as a waste food dump.
work is for people who cant find truffles
