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.

Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia News: On October 22, 2018, Kampong Chhnang traffic police fined a container truck driver 800,000 riel, or the equivalent of US$200, after a breathalyser test revealed that he was over the legal limit.
Police suspected that the man was very drunk, and they stopped him because the vehicle was driving all over the road on national road 5, Kampong Chhnang. The truck was pulled over and the driver was taken to the local police station.

Isn't that probably dead? I thought it was just over WA limit but realised it read 0.51 not 0.05.

A person may need medical attention with a blood-alcohol level under 0.2. Vital functions may start to shut down before someone reaches 0.25. Death is possible with a blood-alcohol level of 0.3. And that's without prior liver damage from previous alcohol or drug use.

Needs calibrating I think. =@
