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.

13 gamblers detained in Battambang
Wednesday, 28 February 2018
Battambang: The district police force of Thmar Kol district, Battambang province cracked down on 13 local gamblers (12 females) on 27 February 2018. Police confiscated the playing cards and relevant materials [like money perhaps].
The women were educated about the evils of gambling, and they were made to sign a contract saying they agree to stop playing cards before being released from custody.
