What I hope is to not find is that very funky attitude that one encounters with women of all creeds and color.
The only thing that would deter me from Cambodia is this will be my 1st trip there and I will be traveling alone.Are there any dangers I should look out for?How will I be treated if I were to walk into Sharky's or Martinis?Please give me your perspectives on this subject.
Overall, Cambodia is a beautiful country It's on my places to go list.

I did not know you were a bro. It is good that you have a pragmatic view on the racism topic. So I will break the news to you. You may encounter problems in Cambodia, starting at the airport when you arrive to get your visa, you may get extra scrutiny.
I've only seen a bro once in Martini's , he seemed to be a GI.
I would recommend to you, Brazil instead. I've been there multiple times, and you should encounter no problems if you behave well. Or the Dominican Republic .
Well, that's all I have.
Good luck.

Posts: 514African-American Male Want's To Come To Cambodia...But
Hey guys,
A while back I brought up a topic concering Racism in Thailand and, the reports on the subject were informative(By the way I'm black) and Thailand is DEFINITLY on my places to go list.Now I move my question to Cambodia.I want to see Cambodia but,I hear there are certain racial attitudes towards blacks there.Is this a good place to have fun or should I just cross it off my list?.Now I'm not downing how another culture chooses to view the world,I just don't want to be dissapointed.In my own view,there's nothing worse than to be tuned way just because you are of a different race.
In my own view it's just the fear of the unknown.I grew up in a multicultral setting(ie Viet,Cambodian,White,etc therefore I am comfotable with it.
I won't make a big deal out of it,I just want to know the"cultural"lay of the land,and even if it's woth my time,from my perspective, I haven't seen any group of people,in the US or any other country for that matter,have there act together on the topic of race-realtions BLACKS INCLUDED.Now,a few of my Asian friends a while back told me that I have a manner that is compatibale to many Asian sensiblities.I am warm,generous,and fun to be with Should I be A-OK in Phnom Phenh?
What I hope is to not find is that very funky attitude that one encounters with women of all creeds and color.

Posts: 12How about bringing a girl to your room in Phnom Penh. I'm damned if I can remember what hotel I booked on the internet. It's a good thing they're picking me up at the airport.

Posts: 365Do the pharmacies in Phnom Penh sell Oraquick? Can you buy it online or in Bangkok?
The only information that I found on Oraquick was that it was a bood test with the results in 20 minutes made by a company called Orasure and distributed by Abbot. I saw something about a saliva test on the Orasure website but no details. But the information on the web said that you couldn' get it unless you were a clinic. Has anyone been able to buy this online?
Do the girls freak out if you ask them for a blood test?
Thanks.

Posts: 1584OVERLAND - Pattaya to Cambodia
here's how to do it
they say you need to get the early bus (5am) to Trat to make the border crossing (border closes at 5pm, opens at 7am). not quite true, you go out to central and Sukhumvit to the bus stop and catch whatever bus is going to Rayong (as long as you get on the road by 7 or so). Change in Rayong for Trat (150B to Trat) From Trat you take a minibus to Hat Lek (100B). Go thru the inbound hassle of cambodian immigration (hey, word of advice, get a BUSINESS visa, costs $10 extra ($34) but unlimited entry/exit for a month). Take moto to Koh Kong and get a room and spend the nite. IF you are adventurous rent your OWN moto (with your own, you avoid the higher prices generated by the commissions the moto drivers get) - HOWEVER, if you don't know the area, you will probably never find the chicken farms). Boat to Sihanoukville leaves at 8AM more or less. $15 be prepared that IF it's bumpy, you might need dramamine (sea-sick pills) note arrives at noon, departs at noon, $12 return (why cheaper going back? beats me)
anyway, that's how to do it. cheaper than flying, but takes 12x as long (1 hour vs 12 hours - but the adventure of it all...) flight to PNH about $70, overland about 25. Guess it depends on how much money you think TIME is worth.
oh 1 thing - the moto drivers descend on you like locusts both at the border and th edock on return. Difficult to keep SHOUTING at the bastards "MAI! JA DERN BAI!!" (pood thai) (NO! Want to walk!) utter cacophony at the dock and they of course all grab you and try to make you "theirs" (the whole place runs on a basic commission system - even a commission if the driver buys (or delivers you) to buy the boat ticket. Not that I mind it - the commissions I mean - but I would sort of like to choose my own driver based on English ability)Last edited by Dinghy; 06-14-03 at 15:00.

Just hope you did covered sessions during penetration, last thing you want is to remember your birthday in a bad way or also, create new birthdays 9 months later!! :O
Will be in Thailand either next week and hope to hop over or will have to wait until August when vacation may or may not come up again.
If you get a long time girlfriend, there are aid test kits in Bangkok for $25 you can buy in any pharmacy(called "Oraquick"), many pharmacies in sukhumit road have them, you perform the test yourself based on saliva sample, result available in 1 hour, no need to send to lab. 99% accuracy according to the company which is reputable. Three month hold period at minimum for bareback sex.
Sayonara!

Posts: 365I am going to Cambodia in July. It is hard to rent a car there--has nyone tried? I do not want to pay $20 for a driver and a car. Nor do I want to sit on a motobike with a girl and a guy. Is there a red light district where I can book a hotel like in Thailand. Please give streets name. Will the girl go back to the hotel room with you?

Posts: 91Cam Pro, you the man!! Either you stayed up all night for weeks making the story up or this really happened! Judging from my less choreographed experiences in Asia, you definitely did the deed, and went all out with style.
Colored veils, Beethoven cds, sandwhiches, what a way to go out with a bang! Just hope you did covered sessions during penetration, last thing you want is to remember your birthday in a bad way or also, create new birthdays 9 months later!! :O

cheers for all the info, great stuff. I'm planning to do the trip to Sihanoukville overland (and sea) from Bangkok. I've found a good site telling me exactly how to do it http://www.cambodia-travel.com. What i need now is recomendations from people who have been. Basic, clean hotel, directions to the w'houses/bars, safety tips.
Cheers
Meaty
Plus maps, restaurants, and ....god forbid, non punther activities like cultural events, and the like.
This is the most comprehensive guide for a visitor to Cambodia.

No. I don't own it, but wish I did.
