A senior official at the Council of Ministers warned owners of right-hand drive vehicles that they must change their vehicles over to left-hand drive by June, 2022, or risk having them seized and destroyed. He also noted that beginning in 2021 all privately owned vehicles with state license plates must pay taxes.

Don't do it, I tried and gave up after how much of a headache and cost it would be.

up thru 2019 i would often drive my Thai licensed car across into Cambodia, been doing that since 2008. ( once had it for 8 months in country) always took the front plate off.
was stopped a few times, was fined a few times.
importing legally would cost ya an arm and a leg and not worth it.

I’d be interested (slightly) to know what car you’ve fallen in love with. Is it a Jaguar? (Ruinous unreliable pieces of turd) or an old Ford?

As has been stated it’s not possible to import Thai cars now, temp yes but then you’d need the borders open and go through all the rigmarole needed etc.

Know a guy who was stopped by cops in Kampot recently and he drives a French registered car (plates removed, he got it cheap). They said he has to have local plates on or the import papers or they will confiscate it and crush it. No questions.
They let him go but now he’s severely restricted where he goes now.

Some years ago, I bought a Thai import, but here in Cambodia, it was unfortunate it was left has a right-hand drive, I never had a problem with the police, but driving on Cambodian roads you need all the help you can get, unfortunately driving in a blind spot at times doesn't help. Even so the Hilux I bought in Battambang was a fraction of the price of an imported left-hand drive.

There’s been a small flurry of right hand drive cars appear on the market recently. Some with deluded ideas of price, some fairly good cars that have been owned and cared for, and largely I abused by some local weird ideas, and some that are being sold cheaper than would a left hand drive- I presume in an effort not to be left with what is otherwise a pile of spare parts with no intrinsic value.

Having talked to CNM about the ramifications of right hand drive cars that were previously legally registered, it would seem that this is still something of a grey area.

The reports I’ve read is all RHD vehicles will be taken off the road mid 22.
