Hi, thanks, I appreciate everyone's concern about the potential damage members of the public may cause, but I am primarily interested in the legal aspect of it at this point. I.e. will you run afoul of the authorities and/or have your car towed.

Then your question was poorly phrased.

Re: Park your car on the street

Can you...?
yes you can.

Is it wise to ...?
probably not

Will I run afoul of local authorities if you..?
We appear to be waiting for a definitive answer to this but at the moment it appears unlikely

Or approaching the question from another angle
Why don't locals ....?

Unless there's a double line or a time limited parking restriction with a sign, you can park on the street

But, as a rule, you shouldn't. Parts will get stolen etc

Pay 30-50 per month for secure parking instead

A few years ago, I came to PP with my car. I was there for a week and they towed it on the last day. I went to the police station and they wanted something like 600 Dollars. I asked if I had parked illegally. Answer was no, but I had stayed in the same place for too long. Had to call a friend to bring the the asking price down to something manageable.

So, I would conclude that the coppers can certainly mess with you if they are so inclined; regardless of where you park.

Thanks! What do you mean by a double line?

I'm thinking about just a few days and then I'll try to move it to a family member's house that has a place to keep it.

Thanks for your answer! Yeah that's pretty much true of everything here.

But it seems the implication is that you should move it regularly in order to decrease the chances of having problems with the police.

A moto i would never leave on the street during night-time, the morning after it will be gone, and there are plenty off paying moto-garages, and cheap. If you park in front of any bussiness, shop, hotel, bar, the place infront is more or less "owed" buy the shop-owner, he will park and ofcourse if you are a customer you can park also, but overnight, depends on the "owner". I had parked my own car in front of my appartement on 144 street during a month in january, had no issue at all but there is 24/7 security there !!
Thanks for your reply! So outside of that one month on Str 144, where do you park your car?

Before it used to be a rental car and parked it useally in front of my hotel, this year it was my own car which i drove all the way from my country, but shipped it back already in a container from SIhanoukville docks. There used to be a pretty big car park on 130 just beofre norodom on the lieft side (between 130 and 136), there is a guard and i left a rental car there a couple of nigths (probably in 2018) and it was dirt-cheap !!

I'm thinking about moving in to a place in Phnom Penh and I have one of those small cars. We don't have a parking place where we want to rent. Is it possible to park on the street in some parts of Phnom Penh? I doubt anyone would try to break into our car if there's nothing of value in it.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

What area you renting?
Or are you sure in the parking out first?

There are plenty of parking lots around - I used to pay $40 per month - they need the car keys as they have to move vehicle around like Jenga but they seem to be pretty careful.

You can also ask hotels that have parking lots that are always empty - some will like that it appears busy if cars are parked there.

2 or 3 months ago I saw a barang and his Khmer partner with a small child park their car outside of Larry's and a police tow truck was in the process of hitching it up to tow away. The Khmer lady came out to pay the police money but they would not accept it. Larry's staff tried to intervene but still no luck. She ended up on a moto following the police tow truck,,, to where?
