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 Breaking News (Mondulkiri): On September 14, 2019, the wildlife conservation team of Phnom Prech forest, in collaboration with Memong police, arrested a man named Chob Hanh, for killing a rare gaur, which is a protected species, and for using an illegal weapon. He was caught with raw gaur meat and a pot of gaur stew. Another suspect, who is his son in law, ran away to escape.

The gaur (/ɡaʊər/, Bos gaurus), also called the Indian bison, is the largest extant bovine. It is native to South and Southeast Asia and has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1986. The global population has been estimated at maximum 21,000 mature individuals by 2016.

This link to a lovely shot of a Gaur at Phnom Tamao, 2019.

The most magnificent of all wild cattle.
Stands up to 7.3 ft high - at the shoulders.
and up to 1.5 tonnes. (!!!)

Phnom Tamao is the only place i have ever seen a one,
worth a visit just for this.

No mention of the stockpile of squared off timber in the background of the first photo, or even the rusty WW1 handcuffs that are stopping him from doing a runner. .I bet they don't make keys for that vintage model any more.
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.

Stacks of it everywhere.

Gotta feed the masses .. I think the dude deserves some credit for finding it or to be a part of the operation given his education/ situation , hopefully 🇻🇳👌🙈🤞🏽 It will all b discovered and reconciled in court and he will be exonerated and sent for some well deserved re-education !
