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.

Hi all !

I could be wrong, but the 2 Khmer people on the first picture strongly look like the owners of an happy pizza restaurant near pub street.

I well known place for some long term expats to order a take away snack at 4:20.

Just saying...

I dont understand why people allow themselves to be photographed in this way, why dont they simply refuse instead of letting themselves be belittled.

Hmm, I think you're probably right. The name matches the manager's name on their business card. :popcorn:

Have you never been arrested ? You don't actually get much say when it comes to a mug shot at the local jail. Just sayin.....

And at a Cambodian cop shop you get even less of a say. They'd smack you in the chops if you wasted their time when they wanted a mug shot.
