Khan Chamkar Mon Authority Bans Street Food Stalls By The Gate of Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital

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.

I wish they'd clear the whole of 271, closer to the bridge ta Chbar Ampov, the sidewalks are non-existent and full of foodcarts after 4pm

Well it's a huge waste of space really. It's nice for a hospital to have a decent pavement around it but theirs is about 8-10 meters wide. It could be used better, but I'd imagine the hospital is not too keen on giving up any space, once they do that where would it end? *





* The nurse training center to the east on 271 was bought out by the 999 oknha who is developing that huge supermarket on the site now. Before that site was cleared a much more modern training center was built behind the hospital so I think it was a sort of swap that worked out well for both parties.

As far as I can see, it doesn't get used for anything, ever, total waste of space. Turn it into paid parking for visitors or general public.

This would be the ideal solution for the food vendors in front of the hospital. No traffic congestion.

More than a dozen food carts in front of the hospital again last night. Who had dibs on 2 weeks?

I saw the guards out yesterday morning moving the stalls and this morning there were no stalls there either. Unfortunately for the first couple of shops after the hospital they all pile in front of there instead, and make a total mess throwing garbage everywhere.

Went to and came back from the airport from 7.30pm last night, the place was crawling with them, both sides of the road - perhaps there's a point in the evening where they're unseen, possibly the point just after when the cops go home.
