Do you get stopped much around the city by the police?

Is there places that rent KTM there?

Cheers in advance

they will let you slide for $2.
probably unlikely to be stopped regularly unlike sihanoukville where you could be stopped 5 times a day.

be sure to lock the bike or park it with security. use your own lock as it is sometimes reported that the owners of the bike will steal it from you, hide it for a few weeks and hit you for replacement cost.
traffic sucks in PP, it is a dangerous place to ride.

^^^^^^ Great post. No clue about a KTM. You can rent a dirt bike for about $20/day. For around PP, IIWY I'd just rent a Dream for $5.
