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.

Really windy that night. Luckily there was a fire break in its path because after that is stacks of recycled bottles packed ready for removal and to the side a large metal shed that stopped it.

It’s the Muslim area actually and yesterday there was lots of activity with local leaders and school kids turning up. My wife said they look after those who lost stuff.

The fire brigade took about 30 mins to arrive though.

That looks fresh which might explain the delay!
Kill some central reservations on the way!
