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.

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): (Preliminary information) On September 7, 2022, part of the shipment of a cargo train carrying oil overturned when its wheels broke in Sangkat Samrong Krom, Khan Por Senchey, Phnom Penh.
This incident caused a great surprise, because the railtrack collapsed when the train passed over a piece where the foundation had been washed away, which caused the train to derail and one of the loaded wagons to overturn. Fortunately, there were no injuries.

The condition of the sleepers look terrible, not surprising they collapsed.

The sleepers on the route to Sihanoukville were replaced with concrete ones about 10 years ago. I'm surprised at the state of those.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

One of the biggest concerns in this country is safety and maintenance.
They build/make to make money's just like any other country does, but Cambodia comes with out the after care, the attitude seems to be the norm "so what".
Always "hope" but never "expect".
