A dry election

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.

Rumour has it that the main reason for the alcohol ban is so that the various celebrating body guards don’t shoot each other while drunk. They’d prefer that they’re all sober when shooting at each other.

Barely anyone pays attention to these bans.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

So, any updates this election weekend? Are the pubs open, can we buy booze, will the teacups make an appearance?

I don't know, but I do think this rule shouldn't be applied to foreigners. We're not voting anyway, right?

You are also not the one making the rules.
