Parking

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

In some places, and when the parking guy does nothing for it, yes. It's nothing but small scale mafia.
looking at the photo, there is a '' pay booth '' on the LH side. To me it looks like you will pay by ATM credit card. ,,,,, After that the barrier will go down and you can drive your car out. No car attendant's to pay.

Maybe things are changing. But what comes first ? Preventing people from parking on the pavement or providing an alternative ? Whether people will use the carpark will depend on the price, but also whether they are discouraged from pavement parking. The carpark has to be way more attractive for the extra bother and price.

That said, if all the Lexus go to the carpark, that will leave more room for the Camrys. And if the Camry drivers also stop parking on the pavement, I guess the motorbikes will take their place.
And realistically, are Cambodians willing to walk the extra distance to and from the carpark? :popcorn:

Sure the carpark wins.

The drivers here hate to leave a car on the pavement where gas will be stolen/badges nicked or it will get clipped by motos and other cars driven by bad drivers.

Obviously, I mean nighttime or long term parking. I don't see the pavements being free of cars in the daytime unless some serious towing/clamping action happens consistently.

When I'm PP the car goes to a 24 hour garage. I pay 3000/4000R depending.
