Several Foreigners Detained at Golden Lion's Circle in Sihanoukville for Traffic Violations
Sihanoukville: On 01 March 2018 at 7 pm, Mr. Ket Sopheak, head of the traffic police office in Sihanoukville, and his team stopped many people who where not following the Cambodian traffic law at near the Golden Lion's Circle on Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville. Offenses included not wearing helmets, no headlights and they even gave some people a breathalyzer test to make sure they weren't stupid enough to be drinking and driving.
The police detained 15 vehicles (3 were drunk drivers) and 11 people(3 women which included a foreigner as well). There was a mix of locals and foreigners being stopped and detained for these infractions, and they have all be reeducated so that they clearly know the mistakes they make and have agreed to not make them again.

Can a tourist with a valid Thai motorcycle driver's license legally drive a motorcycle in Cambodia?

and told me how it was much better i pay him or otherwise they might confiscate my thai registered car if i was made to go to the station to pay the fine

Technically an Asean licence is valid in all Asean countries. Also, you don't need a licence if it's under 125 cc. Both of these are laws. It won't necessarily prevent you from being stopped and having a debate.

You aren't allowed to drive a Thai car in Cambodia any further than 200km from the border. Might be 180km. Anyhow, it's not as far as Shv.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 5:52 pmNO, at least thats what the police in SNV told me about my 5 year Thai license and than charged me

It's not unusual to see Thai plates cruising around Phnom Penh..cptrelentless wrote:You aren't allowed to drive a Thai car in Cambodia any further than 200km from the border. Might be 180km.
