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.

Doesn't get any more gangster than that blacked out Camry. That is the car equivalent of Samuel L Jackson's "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet in Pulp Fiction.

They could get more if regularly locking and shaking down these hotels in casinos places. There is probably more than one room with people awaiting help per hotel....

The M/ F**kers should get 25 years each but they will probably just get deported, no deterrent

Yes, amazing how kidnapping and extortion has developed as a business in Cambodia recently. It has become mainstream news since the onslaught of the Chinese casinos. There were always a few cases before of course, but now it has become a growth industry.
Well done Cambodia. :fool:
