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.

Death of Tom Jackson,30, British hero and ex-Cambodia expat.

Post by Anchor Moy »

Tom Jackson has died of his wounds after trying to save the life of Mia Ayliffe-Chung who was attacked by a madman with a knife in a Queensland hostel.
It turns out that he had been working in Cambodia in the period June 2014-Dec 2015 for a language consultancy and an English language paper in Phnom Penh, so some of you may have known him.

RIP for sure. It was a more heroic way to die than most of us will manage.
A British man who clung to life for a week after being gravely wounded in a stabbing spree in an Australian backpackers hostel has died in hospital.

Thomas Jackson, 30, who was allegedly stabbed in the eye, face and torso after coming to the aid of dying compatriot Mia Ayliffe-Chung in Home Hill, north Queensland, died on Tuesday in Townsville, police confirmed.

His father, Les Jackson, said the family was bereft...

Before coming to Australia, Jackson had worked for 18 months as a freelance journalist, in 2014 taking an internship at an English language newspaper in Cambodia where he earlier taught English.

“To say that I’ve had a lifelong ambition to be a journalist would be at best an understatement,” the South Cheshire college graduate wrote on a LinkedIn profile.
