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.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Let's face it: of you are caught above the 3rd floor in a fire in Cambodia, you might as well do a pavement dive. Whilst high rises are coming up everywhere, there is actually no fire brigade to speak of that could rescue you from high up.

You can also look at alternate exits. How many stairways are there? Where are they? You may be OK if there is a stairway at the other end of the building.

Would assuming it was a room rented by a Chinese whose cigarettes caused the fire be too much of a stretch?

If not too much of a stretch, then maybe the ladder is just right!
