Re: Motor bike rental
Up to 125cc a license isn't required.

Not according to the licensing office in AEON 2. Foreigners need a license from home country and an international driving permit. This is on the basis that you can only drive in Cambodia what you are allowed to drive at home. So if you have a car licence and no bike licence you would not be allowed to drive a bike at home therefore you cannot drive one here. of course, being cambodia thats likely to be interpreted differently by a traffic cop, usually to his advantage.

Still waiting to see that in writing somewhere. I've heard many times that "different for foreigner" but yet to see it in print.pczz wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 5:40 pmNot according to the licensing office in AEON 2.

I only reason I ride a 125 is because I was under the illusion that it was OK.

Not sure how it is applied in other parts of Cambodia, but IDP is no good in Siem Reap for Moto over 125, you need a Cambodian driving licence, AEON 2, 10 USD,

I thought Cambodia was not part if the international driving license scheme? Not to say they won't recognize one from other countries just I dont think they can issue

Re: Motor bike rental
In 14 years riding all manor of bikes, I have been asked for my license 0 times.
They do not recognise IDLs here.

We need someone who knows. As far as i am aware Cambodia is not part of the IDP scheme and did not recognise them, but in an article in PPpost or Khmer times where a chines killed his passenger by driving into the back of a truck carrying wood the policemen said "a foreigner must have a driving license or an IDP and the driver had none" paraphrasing from memory cos i cannot fon the article now. I did meet someone who claimed a fixer managed to get him an IDP in Cambodia. It migh be possible for your other country license but presumably not for your cambodian license? Any traffic law expets in the house?
