Indian Navy Coast Guard Ship on Sihanoukville Visit

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.

Cambodia is firmly in China's orbit, China and India are not friends, nor are the UK and China. Why do either think that showing up in an insignificant little tub, and posing for photos in glaring white uniforms, is anything but a complete waste of time and fuel? Cambodia has little to no geopolitical power or influence so why bother showing up?

Can anyone explain it?
Commemoration of 70 years of diplomatic relations between India and Cambodia.

The British ship circles the area stopping off occasionally here.
How about a direct flight between PP and New Delhi and Mumbai twice a week rather than having to faff around in BKK, or KL or SIN for hours?

People are tired of the hub and spoke travel model, it is outdated. That's one of the reasons 747's and A380's production is ending. People want to go direct. An A320 or 737 could do this trip with ease.

At this time such a trip will take 8-12 hours and cost $550 and upwards, for what is a 4.5 hour flight. There are plenty of Indians with money, not just the Chinese, and they kidnap and shoot each other much less.

Are they joking? Do they mean the raw sewage being pumped out into the sea near the coast?
They’re clearly looking into the tourist side of things, what with potential Helicopter tours, rides on a giant frankfurter, and a village people Cabernet lineup.
Diversify.
