Western Woman Falls Out of TukTuk After Bag Snatching

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.

Photo of the bag contents means that everything that was in that photo should still be there when the woman recovers. If anything is missing, then it's on photo.It's not ideal of course, but this photo which on public record may be in the interests of the victim. Privacy vs transparency.

Hey!, that reminds me
What happened to the usual run of post-saturday night Cambodian Road Dividers V. The Driving Public battle scenes that we used to get here every Sunday evening?
Cheep thrills, cheap shots but harmless enough - not that many deaths
and the magnificent Cambodian Road Dividers are still undefeated
