Re: Yes, Foreigners Can Exchange a Homecountry Driving License for a Cambodian License

This has been available for years. Why is this news? Also, your valid home licence has to match the country of issue as your passport. That makes it a bit difficult then. I was born in UK but lived 40 years in New Zealand as a Permanent Resident, so I have a UK passport and a NZ license. Can I talk...

Re: How safe do you feel in Cambodia in the modern world?

Talk about save the planet...the best thing for the planet is if the human species is drastically reduced, China and India gets my vote. Call me racist if you want...I have no valid response to that.
