Western Man Gets iPhone Snatched

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.

Tourists also seem to be on the move, same has some expats, now visiting many of the country's sights once again. But mostly the type of incident we are reading about happen on the streets of Phnom Penh, this too may have been that of an opportunist snatch. But then again when the tourist numbers do get sufficient then the professional snatchers will grow again.

Nearly all snatches are from motorbikes so it's also a good idea to stop somewhere that is difficult to approach on a motorbike if you need to make a call, and just generally hold the phone away from the road.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
