Drunk Man Drives into a Shop...

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.

First it was Ganzberg Beer signs, and now shops want in on a piece of the action. Seems like road dividers have got a little competition!

Talking about taking a piece of the action, Yerg...

We just need to find a way to package this just right and monetise it.
Marketing won't be an issue in Cambodia - the locals love this kinda stuff
Timing is perfect - peak time is late Friday and Saturday nights so we can post the results in the sports section of next morning's papers.

Rules?
Well, more like cage fighting and Colosseum norms rather than Queensbury rules probably...
No shortage of players either.

There's a few points there, once saw the aftermath of a HGV parked under a rural house, it had taken the pillars of the right hand side of the house, and now the truck was the houses pillar. Yes the house was now resting on top of the truck, the truck bad left the road at the corner of the road and travelled over rice fields to be stopped by the lone house some 200 metres away from the road.
On line gambling, the Chinese love their flutter, and even the Thais flock over the border to play in Cambodia's casinos, are Cambodian people has bad?
Banned online gambling, I wonder how many Cambodian people lost their jobs, my Khmer friend found himself out of work and the loss of his monthly wage of $600.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
