Sokimex Garage

Sokimex Garage (ហ្គារាសាំង សូគីមិច) is a fuel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia — one of 342 transport points we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 5,033 mapped locations in Phnom Penh. In Khmer it would be described as ស្ថានីយ៍ប្រេងឥន្ធនៈនៅភ្នំពេញ. It sits at 11.56564, 104.88811, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a transport point, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Phnom Penh. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Sokimex Garage is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 100 m south of Caltex, and about 100 m south of ANZ Royal ATM, with Every Nation Church Cambodia a further 200 m east. Drivers in Phnom Penh usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Phnom Penh, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Sokimex Garage is mapped as a fuel in Phnom Penh and functions as a pickup, drop-off or interchange point for local traffic. Long-distance buses and minivans in Cambodia mostly run on morning and early-afternoon departures, with the last services leaving in the late afternoon; overnight sleeper buses connect the main cities. Buy tickets a day ahead during festivals, when seats on every route sell out.

Tuk-tuks and app-based rides (PassApp, Grab) wait at most terminals and stations, and fixing the fare before you get in remains standard practice for street tuk-tuks. Allow extra time in the rainy season, when unsealed approach roads and provincial highways slow everything down.

Sokimex Garage is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Caltex (fuel, 100 m south), ANZ Royal ATM (atm, 100 m south), Every Nation Church Cambodia (place of worship, 200 m east), CIMB Bank (bank, 200 m south-west). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
