2 Arrested 4 Rob/Rape Attempt of Japanese Tourist, Koh Rong

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.

Just as a matter of interest, who would your wife know? Do you guys live there?

I'm also not sure what difference it makes where they are from.

I once had some idiot Khmer female teacher tell me that 'there are no thieves in Cambodia'. A teacher!

She knows pretty much everyone who lives in Koh Tich village, by relation some of them. There's not actually that many people who live there. DAP also said marine workers but there's just building work going on at the moment.

She was walking alone, at 4am in the morning, that's not a good idea

Yes, in a perfect world, that would be totally safe, but in reality, you have to use common sense, otherwise such situations will arise unfortunately.

I wouldn't recommend that a single girl walk alone in Newcastle, England at 4am in the morning, or anywhere to be honest
