Welcome to Cambodia Motor Guide, CMG
This thread is an ongoing project thread designed to help anyone (both Khmer and Expatriate alike) with any question they may have regarding motorcycle or scooter usage in Cambodia.
Any topic, from simple buying questions to advanced flame front propagation characteristics may be addressed, as there are a diverse group of people living in the kingdom.
If you have any questions you would like address, please post in the car and bike section, or PM me at (username: AE86) with your question.
Thank you, and happy motoring
