Drunk Teen Gets Both Legs Amputated by Train

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 don't know what you mean by cultural. My guess is that it's because train tracks are flat and dry and don't have any undergrowth on them.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Poor kid. Only 18 too. I'm sure I did just as dumb things when I was that age and drinking with my friends. Seems like nothing more than a tragic accident.

Being 18 and facing the rest of your life without any legs is harsh enough, let alone having to to do it in Cambodia. :(
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

Look at the bright side. He is likely to be given credit wherever he goes to drink. What are the chances he ever does a runner ?

NB what happened to the shoes?

How do we know it wasn't on purpose:
