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.

Kampong Cham, Cambodia News: On the afternoon of 28 September 2018, a fire broke out at Wat Snger, Prey Chhor district, and the fire brigade was called out. Fortunately, they were able to master the blaze before it spread, and nobody was hurt, but a lot of the paintings decorating the temple's walls and the ceiling were destroyed by smoke and water.

The fire is believed to have started accidentally, probably caused by candles and incense that were left burning unattended.
