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.

How much is it for the palace in Bangkok? I definitely don't think the palace is worth anything near $10, though I suppose tourists keep going because they figure they kind of have to, being here already and what not.

I agree, it's a pleasant enough place but not terribly impressive. If I remember correctly it was $3 or so last time I was there, but that was a few years back.

The palace in BKK is 500 Baht.

I guess with all the tax breaks given to the peasants, the government needs to look for alternative sources of income. Angkor entrance fees will almost double.
