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.

Oh no, rip Ned. Shared a few drinks with him over the years. A funny story from him a few years back when the Notorious Ned Kelly got scammed by a scammer, I think over him painting his apartment in all black and trashing the place, and he was looking for someone to strongarm his landlord so that he'd get all his stuff back, including all his music equipment, who locked him out afterwards.

He looks young in that picture. How old was he when he died? And the cause of death?

I'd guess he was in his late 40s? I knew him but he was a bit of an oddball. RIP.

'Bit of an oddball', hmmm, I hope you meant that in a positive way, which expat in Cambodia is not? incredibly creative and intelligent, and a genuinely nice person at heart

For obvious reasons I was being vague. You probably didn't know him very well and I'll leave it at that. ☠️
