Twenty five frantic Chinese tourists bolted out of a tour bus after it started emitting fumes in the capital’s Chroy Changvar district yesterday.

The bus was headed towards Siem Reap when bellowing clouds of smoke were seen coming out from the vehicle’s exhaust, prompting the observant driver to pull over and inspect the engine.

The perturbed – but thankfully unscathed – passengers waited for several hours for a new bus to resume their journey.
