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.

That guy needs to toughen up, looks like he lost an arm with that pose! Take a hint from the guy that got slashed nearly to death a couple of days back at the new roundabout. Not gonna post unedited pics but that was brutally nasty!Image

No idea how he did that, the fireworks on the beach are all pretty limp. The 20 shot launcher is about the only thing to do any potential damage, and you can't run round firing it at people

once i narrowly had an accident too, some tourists didnt buried it deep enough and didnt packed the sand tightly around it, so when it started going off the force knocked it down and instead of the fireworks going straight up, it went into the sittings nearby, luckily it was low season and it was almost finish so only a few rounds went into the sitting areas

A month and a half ago, a little kid was badly injured on Occheuteal and there was a police "clampdown" on the selling of fireworks which lasted about 48 hours.

Drunk people setting off fireworks, probably a good idea to stay well back I would have thought :)
