Is it possible to drive your own motorbike in/around Siem Reap?
According to this site:
Tourists are no longer allowed to rent motorcycles or cars, or drive a vehicle in Siem Reap.
I have read several blog posts about Angkor Wat and that's the first time I have read this. Currently, is it true?
Best Answer
What is still possible for tourists is to rent bicycles (basic ones go for $2-3/day, mountain bikes for $5-8).
Given the terrain (completely flat, pretty good roads, mostly shady) and distances (ca. 17km for the "small cycle", 28km for the "grand cycle"), that's actually a perfectly workable alternative, if you like to be physically active.
The midday heat will be brutal though.

Can foreigners ride motorbikes in Cambodia?
To drive a motorbike in Cambodia you should have a Cambodian permit. Thus said, it is pretty common to just drive with an international permit. This can give the local police an excuse to fine you, but it is going to be a matter of a few dollars. Make sure that your travel insurance covers motorbike accidents though.How do you get around Siem Reap?

Answer 2
We have our own motorbike from Vietnam. No problems taking it into the Angkor Archeological Park. There are so many cars, tuk tuks, buses, motorbikes on site they would have a hard time only allowing registered vehicles, if that is even the case. As long as you have tickets for the park. We parked our bike in busy places like near food vendors.
