Born in Montreal to Chinese-Cambodian parents who survived the Khmer Rouge regime, Ravy Puth has turned illustration into a tool for research and resistance. Between award-winning children's books, campaigns against anti-Asian racism and a graphic novel in progress on the hidden history of Cambodians in Quebec, she works to bring back a memory the genocide tried to erase.

5.57 million international tourists visited Cambodia in 2025, down from 6.70 million the year before — the sector's first real contraction since the pandemic. The Ministry of Tourism's annual report points to a near-single cause: the collapse of overland arrivals through the Thai border, closed since June 2025 amid military tensions. Air travel, boosted by the new Techo International Airport, held up well, and domestic tourism, up sharply, cushioned the blow in provinces spar

The Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) has just published a bilingual Khmer-English book devoted to the life of Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk. Prepared for her 90th birthday, it retraces nearly a century of Cambodian history lived alongside King Father Norodom Sihanouk. Its release also revives a question that goes beyond tribute: whether her legacy, now inseparable from that of the nation, deserves legal recognition of its own.

As part of the 20th Francophonie Summit, the French Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia (CCIFC) and the Foreign Trade Advisors of France (CCEF Cambodia) announce the France-Cambodia Business Forum (FAFC) 2026, to be held on 16 and 17 November 2026 in Phnom Penh.

Last night, the Sun & Moon Riverside Hotel in Phnom Penh played host to an evening like no other. Under traditional Khmer music, more than 500 guests — officials, entrepreneurs and friends of the cause — gathered for the 12th edition of the Airavata Foundation's gala dinner, held in support of elephant conservation in Cambodia. Between traditional dance, a live auction and an outpouring of generosity, the evening once again proved a resounding success for the foundation.

Exports are breaking records. Foreign investment keeps flowing in. Public debt stays low. But tourism has collapsed, inflation has quintupled in three months, and millions of households are sinking deeper into debt. Two economies coexist in Cambodia. Here's why.

Senior Associate at Sok Siphana & Associates, in association with Kinstellar Southeast Asia (Cambodia), Rosette Sok has built her career advising local and international clients on corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border commercial transactions, supporting businesses and investors as Cambodia's legal and investment landscape continues to mature.

Trained in the demanding disciplines of Pali, Sanskrit and Tibetan, Suzanne Karpelès (1890-1968) spent most of her life rescuing, cataloguing and reviving Khmer manuscripts. First curator of the Royal Library of Phnom Penh in 1925 and founder of the Buddhist Institute five years later, she trained two future Supreme Patriarchs of Cambodia and gave the country an intellectual tool that, without her ever intending it, would become one of the quiet cradles of national awakening.

Cambodia and the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) signed a five-year action plan on 5 August 2026 aimed at strengthening French language education in the Kingdom and the training of the teachers who deliver it. The agreement comes just months ahead of a symbolic milestone for the country: hosting the 20th Francophonie Summit, scheduled for late 2026.

On 7 August 2026, the Cambodia Tourism Board (CTB) and the Art for Kep association signed a partnership agreement in Kep aimed at raising the town's international profile, along with the future S.E.A. Ocean Gallery, which will become Southeast Asia's first underwater art museum off its coast.

Actress, writer and producer based in Toronto, Chantria Tram has spent some fifteen years building a body of work that explores, with humour and vulnerability, what it means to grow up between two cultures. From her solo show "Someone Between" to roles in series streaming on Apple TV+ and HBO Max, by way of a collective memory project with the Khmer-Krom community, her path traces the portrait of an artist for whom the stage is also a space for reconciliation.

Bernard decided, one Saturday, to "make the most of the residence pool." Six Anchors later, the pool is mostly making the most of him.

As Cambodia moves toward graduation from Least Developed Country (LDC) status, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has reaffirmed its commitment to continued technical and policy support for the country's trade sector. The confirmation came during a courtesy meeting held on 6 August 2026 at the Ministry of Commerce in Phnom Penh.

Grilled at a street stall, dried on a rural market table, or simmered into a sour soup, snake has long been part of the diet for some Cambodians, particularly around the Tonlé Sap. But behind this quiet culinary habit lies one of the largest wildlife harvests on the planet — and mounting pressure on a resource scientists increasingly consider unsustainable.

Born in Cambodia and raised in France from the age of three, Tomy Gousset has become one of the most endearing chefs on the Parisian food scene. At the helm of three addresses in the French capital — Tomy & Co, Hugo & Co and Marso & Co — he cultivates a generous bistronomic cuisine, built on vegetables he grows himself and on a career path that was never a straight line.

Never point your feet at a monk, count a gecko's calls to learn your romantic fate, or change your name to throw a restless spirit off your trail: in Cambodia, a set of popular beliefs still quietly shapes small everyday gestures. Some stem from Buddhist etiquette, others from an older folklore that predates Buddhism's arrival altogether. A look at eight of them, as documented by researchers, teachers, and Cambodians themselves.

In Phnom Penh, life slows down around the Olympic Stadium. The Cambodian Pétanque and Boules Federation gathers its devotees on its own courts, in the shade of tall trees, amid the click of metal balls and the smell of sun-warmed gravel.

Spared for his talent as a painter, Bou Meng survived S-21 by putting brush to canvas for his own captors. A portrait of one of the last seven known adult survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime's deadliest prison.

Seven medals in Mongolia and the right to host the 2028 edition: Cambodia confirms its rising profile on the Asian ITF Taekwon-Do scene.

Tourism revenue in freefall, EuroCham raises the alarm: the European chamber of commerce urges Phnom Penh to overhaul its visa policy to revive a sector in distress.

There are towns that serve seafood, and there is Kep. Long before the phrase "farm to table" entered anyone's vocabulary, Kep's fishermen were already living it — hauling in blue crab and mackerel at dawn, selling it still glistening at the market by the water an hour later.

On the southern coast of Cambodia, facing the sea that lines Kep Bay, three former private villas have become one of the most singular retreats in Southeast Asia. Here, nothing is decorative by chance: every jar, every wall, every light switch carries a story. This is the inside story of Knai Bang Chatt, told the way you might tell the story of a country.

There's a song where she owns being 31 and single, and so what? In 1960s Cambodia, that simply wasn't done. Pen Ran sang it anyway. Between psychedelic rock, cha-cha-cha and near-constant controversy, here's a look back at the meteoric career of a Cambodian singer whose disappearance under the Khmer Rouge remains, to this day, wrapped in unanswered questions.
