New House Collapses on House-Warming Party: 1 Dead

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.

Terrible.

I am truly amazed this doesn't happen more often.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I was thinking the same thing.

There is absolutely no evidence that Indians were involved in building Angkor Wat. Indian temples from that period have little in common with Khhmer temples.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

True, you wont find the signature of the 'Indian architect that signed off the plans due to time, but you can't deny the massive influence that India had over Cambodia. Sanskrit, Hinduism, Buddhism, dance, many other aspects of culture including tits and hips.

Meanwhile in India...

There's a big difference between being influenced and having actual architects and engineers from India. These didn't exist.

The Taj Mahal built 1631-1648.
Do you mean architects or engineers didn't exist at that time?
A structure like that could not have been attempted without architects.

Although, I could be wrong about the use of Indian consultants in the building of Angkor Wat, and I don't really have the facts to back up my claims. Also, I have often heard it said by Cambodians, "Angkor Wat was built by giants." So on consideration, I retract my statement.

I meant that Indian architects and engineers didn't exist in Cambodia. Angkor was built by Jewish giants from Central Asia.

I wonder why they chose to have concrete on that bit, if it had been wood like the rest of the floor it likely would not have collapsed. RIP Yiay.
