Chinese Man Smokes at a Gas Station...

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.

It is! Ever tried it? There would have to be a large amount of valour to do that damage. Gas, LPG, I can agree with. Vapour yes is heavier than air and is going to settle at ground level. Vapour from a petrol nozzle filling a car? Fault somewhere else I would think.

From looking at the video it looks like the car was at the GAS pump.

Again is it gas! LPG or Petrol (American gas). ?
Anyhow I don't really care. So there was another fire and plenty before and plenty will follow.

Khmer press and Facebook are saying the Chinese victim died of the burns today.

EDIT: I also note that the press is all over the place with the facts about this story. In one he is a passenger of a taxi, in others the driver of the car. In all cases though, it is stated that he fired up a cigarette during the fueling process and got burned.

Other reports state the Khmer taxi driver died and the Chinese guy is fine, but his cigarette caused the fire. Yup. Khmer press is quite factually accurate.

Yes. Or no.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did die. Looks like he had 3rd degree burns almost everywhere, and that's just asking for a deadly infection or something.

Khmer taxi driver wasn’t smoking and died already. His only crime was pumping the gas in the car.
