Phnom Penh

[BronzeMan]

Does anyone have any recent info on the MP scene in PP? Wouldn't take chances unless I know what's on offer first.

Same as it was when I reported a few months ago. There are at least five fishbowls in Phnom Penh and countless "regular" boom boom massage places. Fishbowls are 6-10 bucks for the house and 20-100 for the masseuse. Regular places range from 10 dollars to 40 all-in. Price depends on where you go, who the woman is, how much Khmer you can speak, and how well you can negotiate (the best way to "negotiate" for these kinds of things in Cambodia is usually to know the going rate in advance and simply pay then when the events are over without any discussion). I won't post the exact names and locations publicly because I've seen what happens when that is done. It doesn't take too much investigation to find at least a few of them though. When in doubt, ask a knowledgeable tuk tuk driver.

Actually, the total price for Le Crycee would be $35. $25 tip for the girl and $10 total bar fee ($7 barfine and $3 lady drink necessary for takeout).

You probably can low-ball some of the ugly girls for $20 tip. Some of the cuter ones might initially ask for $30 tip.

It's for 1 hour, not 2. Of course if the girl likes you, then she can stay more than 1 hour. But normally, the girls will whine for you to hurry up after 30 or 40 minutes.

But still, $35 is still cheap compare to what you get back home.

Mate, totally agree that the total price is more than $25. I was trying to emphasise how cheap it is when all things are considered.

The girls I took from La Cyree did in fact stay quite a long time but when I took a double on my last night, the experience was ordinary and they were pushing to go pretty early. Happy to let them out at the 1 hr mark. As they left I decided that would be my first and last double in Cambodia. No interaction by the girls at all. One giving BBBJ, the other sitting on end of bed watching TV. Pounding the other, same, having 2nd shower. Mind you they were both friendly and attractive. Just don't think doubles are their thing.

Thanks for your comments. I am returning in August. Been told it is hot, wet and humid. Might have to stick to indoor action.

Is G-Pub located in the hallway just around the corner from Pontoon?

Yes the disco / bar is located in one of the corridors inside Golden Sorya Mall around the corner from Pontoon.

Fuck, lets face facts-25 for 2 hrs with a 22 year old tanned skin beauty, GFE, BBBJ, Sex. It would cost ten times that much back home.

From Lanthano.

"When Pontoon closes at 3 am, the party isn't over yet so head over to G-Pub if you still want to party or unfortunately have not found a trick yet. It's what people call an after hours / afterparty bar and its open until 6-7 am. ".

TC.

Yes, it is.

It might be $7 but if memory serves right you've got to buy a LD to any girl you want to take. Which somewhat distorts the equation to your detriment.

This said it remains one of the good ST places for locals as it's a bit outside the beaten track Gsm /104 area.

I was the only customer every time and yes I had quite a few beers myself whilst buying some LDs as 6 or 7 girls lavished me with attention. Maybe costs money but WTF I don't get that sort of fun in any establishment at home. IMHO what one spends is relative to the service you get and the fun you have getting it.

I went into many bars, ordered a beer, sat back and waited for things to unfold. If nothing was taking my fancy, I just politely thanked them and up and left. Never was I abused or made to feel uncomfortable about leaving.

I will be returning. BB.

In his report Lanthno stated "barfine is $10 despite another report saying otherwise".

Let me say that in my 5 days in Penh I barfined 4 girls from La Cryee and I paid $7 every time. I was the only customer in the place and there were about 20 girls all sitting around. The French owner was at the end of the bar just sitting-observing. I was expecting to pay $10 so the lesser amount was welcome and probably contributed to my returning for more.

Maybe there is a price when custom is dead but I have no reason to give false info or mislead anybody. Cheers BB.

Top Ten Bar. Avoid. I do not understand how it could seriously give itself that name, nor why some people recommend it. Uninterested girls (one actually blatantly insulted me there one of the times I was there) and just generally subpar.

Seriously what are these shit attitudes? Why would they bother putting make up on and going to these places if they don't want to be picked up? This is one of the reasons I stick to MP's.

[Member #4263]

Parts of course missing are concerning the mysterious and elusive brothels of PP, assuming that they are still there, streetwalkers (I won't take the risk), KTVs and beer gardens (I don't speak Khmer so I won't set foot in them) and the "boomboom" massage places (I don't like HJs and BJs without real sex)

Does anyone have any recent info on the MP scene in PP? Wouldn't take chances unless I know what's on offer first.

Street 104. Colonial Bar and Rose Bar stand out here and I would give them my recommendation. Zanzibar is a dump, Avoid. Top Ten Bar. Avoid. just generally subpar.

Street 136. Spiderman bar is decent and with good drink prices. I think the owner is American. Friendly girls with ok looks when I was there. Xanadu, formerly known as 99 bar, is one I will recommend. Some great looking girls, most barfine.

Street 51, the Sorya Mall area (bars and above all, the nightclubs): Pontoon is the obvious place and will be your best bet for music and girls.

Great reporting Lanthano. I especially liked your photo supplement. Looks like you hooked up with some great Khmers.

I recently spent 5 days in Phnom Penh and I generally agree with your overall assessment.

104 St: I barfined a sexy girl from Colonial my first night and took home a girl who was part of a sister act from Rose Bar on my last night. I wanted the older, cuter sister, but the older sister told me she was on her "mens," which actually may have been the truth this one time because she added that I could barfine both sisters together in 2 nights. Too bad I could not take her up on her offer because it was my last night in town.

136 St: My favorite bar here was Oasis. They had some great girls although the hottest girl in the bar was on her "mens" LOL and was therefore a BMD (buy me drink) girl. I also met some nice girls in Sizzlers.

Pasteur St: Pontoon is the place to go, but I must admit I was impressed with the look of your girls from G-Pub. Looks like I will have to check that place out the next time I visit Phnom.

P.S. I also checked out Darling Darling at Nagaworld. It is another universe over there. The bar was packed every night with a number of stunners and big spending Asian customers. Hold on to your hat; the FL's wanted $100 for ST. But if you can accept the price point, the place is like shooting fish in a barrel albeit an expensive barrel.

The one thing I would like to add is that Phnom Penh is changing. I still like Khmer girls a lot, but only as far back as 2009, there was no difference between ST and LT for any of the hostess girls I barfined. Back then it was always "up to you" time. In other words the girls would stay as long as I liked and for as many shots. Today I can still get the "up to you' time, but only if I am willing to spend a few nights with the same girl and more or less make her my girlfriend. Then she will willingly stay as long as I want at no additional cost.

Furthermore, back in '09 no hostess girl ever told me she was on her "mens" and could not barfine except at Shanghai Bar where the girls would barfine, but only to go out dancing or something. The statement about hostess bars that, "most girls will barfine" is a little deceptive. My feeling is that it is mute whether 90% of the hostess girls in a particular bar will barfine, if the one or two hot girls in the bar are BMD only girls. The net result is the same as if no girls in the bar barfined. And it always works out that the hottest girls are the ones that do not need to barfine because they are the ones making enough on drinks and tips.

Hi I am planning a visit in October, Blue Tongue looks good and thanks for the suggestion guys! BTW it does say that each room has its safety box situated at reception, so that should answer that one! I'll post my dates here soon as I know, in case anyone's in town needs a beer or a wingman!

I found the boxes worked fine, 2 keys, one for you, one held at reception. They are right behind the reception desk and you have 24 hr access. I actually felt my stuff was safer there than in room box. Probably would not be so good if reception staff were uncooperative and difficult.

Maybe it's me but I thought had posted about a GFE hotel yesterday with comfy mattress?

The La Rose Spa Boutique Hotel is totally GFE, requires registering I'd but no extra fee. They also have a massage table / mattress in some of the rooms, nice rain head shower and nice queen size bed. Under $85 via agoda. Excellent breakdfast and nice / professional staff.

Also, does BlueTongue have safety box in room? No mention in the website.... thanks!
