Woman Killed by Machete During Wedding Brawl

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.

Actually very common behaviour in the UK.
The sword at my wedding was 100% shiny plastic. I was not encouraged to unsheathe it.

Also sprinkled grains on missus’s head and got pelt with grains.

Not a machete in sight, thank goodness.

Now back to the village for ancestor’s celebration - atonement of missing Pchum Ben

I am doing the village wedding ceremony on Dec 7 after 3 years of registered marriage and 7 years together. In Isaan, swords are not part of the ceremony. But I can understand why your inlaws asked you not to unsheathe yours in public haha
