Phnom Penh - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
It seems that 80% of Cambodians drive mopeds and motorcycles. Americans bring or buy them at post too. Lots of locals have priuses and other EVs. Asian brand cars are easy to fix here. Something with higher clearance probably a good idea with summer monsoon and flooding and bad roads or dirt roads in the city and in provinces. A small SUV makes the most sense I think but Cambodians also do love big cars, so you'll see lots of Ford trucks and other large vans in the city, surprisingly. - May 2024
