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.

They have an awful reputation, but its amazing how many people keep on using them anyway. Are the tickets $1-2 cheaper perhaps ?

Its hard to believe this outfit is still in business. Didnt "the boss" order them years ago to clean up their act?
Safety record, theft, drivers on meth. Wasnt there some gal years ago raped by the crew on one of their night buses?

You can choose between being killed on the bus or being steamrollered by them in your vehicle.

If you survive all that then a quick knifing or raping does the trick..
