While some nations such as Thailand in Southeast Asia have hit political turmoil – again – economic conditions in Cambodia have become sufficiently positive for at least some people that famed luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce is selling its vehicles there.

While some nations such as Thailand in Southeast Asia have hit political turmoil – again – economic conditions in Cambodia have become sufficiently positive for at least some people that famed luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce is selling its vehicles there.

The firm has joined with a Cambodian business partner to open a showroom for the cars in Phnom Penh, the capital, next month. The deal has been signed with HGB Group.

According to Associated Press, the Asian country has an average per capital annual income of around $2,600, which is less than one per cent of the cost of the cheapest Rolls Royce marque. However, the car maker clearly sees the country as offering growth potential if it can mimic some of the upsurge in wealth that has been seen across the Pacific Rim region in recent years.
