Thanks Banana Boi. My hotel is the Sun and Moon which is right in the middle of the bars, so I hope it's ok. Does anyone else have any recent experiences of this hotel or ones around the bar areas?.

Sun and moon used to be very girl friendly, but who knows now with all the BS going on, ask them outright through email, WhatsApp or landline so you know the answer before to late to cancel, I know riverside as well "used "to be zero jam up, good luck.

Change hotels immediately. Book a hotel near or on Street 136. No issues. Those hotels know why guys stay there.

I will be in PP later this month, and my hotel has messaged me about requirements for all guests to have original passports and vaccination certificates. Do you know whether these rules are strictly enforced and if so whether bar girls all carry these documents with them?

Does anyone have any information on the mechanics of taking girls back to your hotel?

I'm on the ground here with an issue. I'll post a report at some stage but first I need advice. I won't go into full detail at the moment. There's a freelancer that keeps randomly showing up at mine promising to make trouble for me unless I pay her. I paid her 2 very small amounts. Second time at a police station in which she and the police promised this would end, I'm not so sure about this as no official report was made. Now I can't feel relaxed and don't want to be caught off guard if she shows up a random again. Can anyone "genuinely" offer advice or have experience with this before. Should I attempt to go to another police station and have an official report made, what are my options?

Yes I know I shouldn't pay her and I certainly won't be paying her a cent again but I need to know how to officially put a stop to this. Please message me if you feel you can genuinely help.

Guys I'm the ground here since the last 2 weeks. Another 2 week's to go. I have the lay of the land. If anyone wants to meet up for a beer inbox me.

Looks like you have found a solution to your earlier problem.

Did it end with the payment at the police station?

From your experience, do you have any advice for anyone who might encounter a similar problem in the future?

Do you guys need to show the booking of a return flight to get the visa on https://www.evisa.gov.kh or are there any requests to show a return flight confirmation at the airport in Phnom Penh?

As noted previously, no flight information is requested or needed upon application for an eVisa to Cambodia. The airline may ask to see a reservation for a flight departing Cambodia. I had this happen the one time I departed the USA Using a one-way ticket. I have never been required to show onward travel arrangements upon arrival at a Cambodian airport.

Remember to check with your Airline. Sometimes they demand that you have a ticket out of Cambodia. Before covid, easy to buy a cheap bus ticket to Ho Chi Minh online.

Hi there,

I am on my way to PP in two weeks from now, as always I try to inform myself (update my information) regarding what they ask at the border since I know the officers like to improve themselves who sell the most nonsense. So as I told that I have all required documents Covid-19 and other bla bla he told me he advise me to purchase a return flight as land borders are closed, so I would have no issues in case if some ask for it, he add it might be I get rejected to enter, so this scared me, although I guess I was wise enough but hey it was his call and he did push me to think what is more worth to me, after long flight having some P. Sh, bothering me to gain all lost money during pandemic or just get in without hassle+ so I just purchased a flight to BKK in a month I knew I can easily extend my visa at least for one month, but I am going to apply for either business visa or retirement one once I am inside so why bother, and I paid $68 for Leimai airlines flight PP to BKK (I think is to DMK! Any way Nice to be there soon for 60 ieth).

A similar thing happened to me. A middle aged SW of Vietnamese origin appeared quite friendly and latched onto me about 2 or 3 years ago in PP. She followed me on a shopping expedition and was quite helpful so I invited her to lunch. After lunch, naturally we went back to my hotel for a shower and some fun. After the deed I gave her $5 but she would not take it, created a scene so I threw her out of the room. Created such a commotion in the corridor that the manager came and removed her. Later next day she saw me at Golden Sorya and made a nuisance of herself, so much that I left and walked away. She closely followed me in every direction until I got to Shanghai pub where I signaled a Moto. The moto came and I got on the bike but she started to attack the rider who got off and retaliated in a fight during which her hand bag was torn. I walked away in another direction looking for a police station. After walking for about 25 minutes unable to find any help I got so far in front of her that to my surprise the same Moto rider had been following and quickly rode up for me to get on the back to make an escape. I paid him handsomely when he dropped me off at my hotel.

Fortunately I was leaving town the next day but I was so what nervous when I returned to the same are next year.

O K, some may say I should have paid her more in the first place, however no money was discussed, I bought her lunch and she was a bottom feeder that many guys would not touch. Lesson learned, in this situation always agree on a price before parting the old beef curtain!

Going to another cop shop will achieve nothing. They know fuck all about what is going on and they won't care. If it is very recent, say a day or 2 you could drop by the original cop shop with a case of beer as "thanks" for their trouble. Big smile, shake a few hands and at least if push comes to shove you have a slightly better chance. If you don't know already money talks in Cambodia and if you want a "report" (hooker bothering me, don't know if I'd want one) you will have to pay for it. 50 bucks should do the trick. She probably has no pull whatsoever and you are worried over nothing but simply switching accommodation as mentioned previously should fix it and is probably cheaper!

From what little you have given us I would simply advise changing hotels and hanging out in different bars than your usual haunts. That should take care of things unless there is more to the story than you have told us. Uhm. So if things have become untenable you can always get out of Phnom for a few days or even skip the country and go to Thailand.

Got my E visa within 7 days and no proof of a return flight out of Cambodia required.

No body can actually answer this until we know the full story of what you did, will be hard not knowing all the facts, good luck, very bad spot to be in!
