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.

When my family been here to visit me i always asked my female family members if they actually need their bag or maybe they instead could put on a pair of pants with pockets to not be attractive to thieves.

Their bags were filled with shit they wouldnt need until they came back to europe so in the end they putted some cash and phone in pocket and of we went for a bag free, robbery-free night.

As the woman in this topic can I correct one thing.. I didn't get robbed. He attacked me and I defended myself luckily. But the biggest thing I would like to add is that Battambang is a wonderful amazing place. The love and support I received from the Khmer people was overwhelming. They personally apologized to me for what happened so many times. That would not happen in Oz. And a very big thankyou to the Battambang police.

It doesn't take much to "develop" in the boonies. There are crazy guys wandering around with bamboos and machetes and adzes and choppers everywhere. That's one reason I don't like the countryside, it's full of full-on insane people.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
