Phnom Penh

[Shadow6491]

No offense meant but when was the last time you were on ground? I can confirm from my last trip in April that Golden Vine, City Bar and Ben's have NO Viet girls. I have never been to Tanabata or Mao's, thank you for the intel.

Fishbowl massage shops are not my cuppa tea, so I will pass that one.

Also, I have never seen a Karaoke joint on 136, unless you are referring to places that are further to the west, away from the riverside. Would be keen to explore.

Mate there are definitely Viet girls in Golden Vine I have known the owner there for 18 years and some of the girls there are good friends that have been there for about 8 years and more. Also quite a few Viet Karaoke places on 130 and 136

Hi: Looking for a hotel that doesn't have security / front desk people / doormen looking every time I come in and out. Really makes it uncomfortable for me. Suggestions? Should I just get an airbnb instead?

Security and front desk people know what you and most everyone else is doing so relax those people are there help not judge you.

I don't think I've ever seen a bar where it was all milfs. Just wondering if you guys knew of an area or bar where you can find them. Would GSM be a viable spot?

Vietnamese beauties really have no reason to go to Phnom Penh when they have options like Saigon, Kuala Lumpur or. HCMC

Aren't Saigon and HCMC the same place?

A few places staff Viets still to this day:

Golden Vine bar on Street 108.
City Bar on Street 110.
Ben's Bar on Street 110.
Tanabata on Street 63 is Viets only.
Mao's on 106.

At least three of the fish bowl massages including the "massa" place on 252 often mentioned have Viets. So do many of the super cheap boom boom massages on the ring road.
There are also Vietnamese karoke joints on Street 15, Street 136 and others, but they don't take kindly to people who can't at least speak Tieng Viet.

Luckily there are plenty of Khmer beauties in Cambodia. Millions in fact.

God bless them for that. Love the cuties.

Has anyone tried approaching, possibly with a Viet-speaking assistant or driver, the Vietnamese communities of Phnom Penh, in search of adult sex workers? Such groups, although long-established, are still marginalised by the Khmer government and thus in need of extra income. Most experienced single men would rate Viet women above the Khmer in terms of looks and performance. Any tips, leads or suggestions from (and to) a fellow Phnom Penh resident? Thanks in advance.

Will be traveling to PP soon. Was wondering if any of you have been to any of the new hostess bars in the city? I am wondering if the talent is being spread thin?

Which new hostess bars are you referring to specifically? Can you name the bars and their location? I was there just at the end of April and all the bargirl talent was concentrated around 136,130 and 104. Maybe 110 and 51 if you want some more variety.

Hi guys,

I will be visiting Phnom Penh next week and staying at the Garden City Hotel. I believe that is far from the bar street riverside. Are there any pick up bars or nightclubs or massages with extras near the hotel. If going to Riverside for action is the only option then how much will a tuk tuk cost me. Is also the hotel girl friendly.

I will also be staying for a couple of days at the white mansion, I would appreciate similar info for that too.

Thanks.

Lots of hotels and guest houses in PP. I suggest that you email each to see what their policy is regarding bringing guests to your room. That is my M. O. And it works. Garden City is quite far from the bars, clubs, discos. Probably 12-15 km from the riverside bars. I'm just guessing a $7-$10 tuk tuk fare. White Mansion is on the edge of what I think most would consider ground zero for my idea of Sanuk. For $1 tuk tuk. A quick ride up Street 51 to Pontoon and Heart of Darkness and a few hostess bars. From there, maybe another $1 ride to the streets that have the most hostess bars.

Have fun and don't be afraid to share your adventures here.

SS.

BTW the chicks now no longer use the upstairs rooms, but will take you downstairs and out the door to the adjoining guesthouse. The rooms there are normal guesthouse rooms. But there is no extra charge for these rooms.

Franga's information is good but to update it, they are back to working as before, so use massage rooms upstairs for FS with no need to go outside. Prices still $7 + $25 (or what you negotiate).

But as to Viets, I haven't seen any on recent visits. One or two may claim 'mixed race' or may be ethnic Khmers from Vietnam. They don't look like Vietnamese.

This can of course change from day to day. Quality has been poor this year. I have a hunch that you might have more luck after 6 pm. I often visit Sonoma Oyster Bar near Bassac Lane for their $1 Vietnamese oysters (20% discount between 4 pm and 6 pm) before heading over.

Enjoy!

I still never went to 'Massa'. Are the Viets usually young and, if so, half decent looking?

I would say they are "moderate" in looks. One small chick I took told me that she was 22 yrs old, but then another member with good intell told me she was actually over 30. There are usually better looking Khmers so I generally take one of them instead.

There are always two or three viets mixed in with the Khmers at Massa on Street 252.

There are always two or three viets mixed in with the Khmers at Massa on Street 252. They even give them a red number badge whereas the Khmers get a blue one. Remember it's $7 for the house and offer $25 to the chick. If you don't bargain then the house will want $15 and the chick from $40 to $80, which is a complete ripoff but naive punters have paid this, so beware.
