Phnom Penh

[IllusionHeart]

Great report, very informative. I have never been to PP before, though I have visited Siem Reap a couple of times. Maybe I should start with a weekend jaunt later this month.

Darling Darling is a $100 for ST? Are the ladies worth it? Only one way to tell. Inspect them yourself. 5555.

I was under the impression that Cambodia is the cheapest of all SEA countries to live in. Seems like that is changing fast.

Cambodia has and is changing fast. Besides if you are after quality like me you will have to pay a premium irrespective of the country.

Darling darling girls are a mixed bag like everywhere else. A beer (Heineken) is approx 6 USD and couple of drinks trying to check the girls sets one back by 20 to 30 USD. ST being around 100 and other misc exp like travel, food, etc makes it a 150 to 175 USD experience. Definately not cheap for ST.

Naga is a predominant Chinese playground hence you also need to overcome that by spending time and money to find the girl you want.

All said a visit is definately recommended. You never know what might work for you when down there.

This was my second visit to Phnom Penh after a gap of two years.

Phnom Penh continues to remain an option for short visit whenever I want break from Philippines or Thailand but will not substitute them for a long stay.

You should not. Get into a video chat with the girl and if she's refusing avoid her.

Thank you! I'll try finding one this next holiday.

Great post! I have been living in Pattaya for 4 years and have never been to Cambodia for fun. I have been to Thailand, Indo, PI, HK. Macau, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Laos.

I will make my first trip to PP next month. I'm on a multiple entry visa, so I will travel near the 90 day mark, then return with another 90 days. I have a Canadian buddy who ownes a bar in PP, so I will probably stay at his place unless he is booked or has another recommendation for me. I figure a little 7-10 day get-away is fine for a side trip.

Thanks for the update.

Thank you for reading my FR. I would recommend coming to PNH on one of your VISA runs for approx 2 to 3 days initially. Things are quite different and slow paced. Prices are not cheap for all things comparatively. Besides nothing much to do except bars and if you like to gamble then Naga Casino is also an option to spend time. Food scene ain't as great as LOS. If you like it here in your first trip then can definately revisit for a longer stay.

August 17 to 23 (6 days). This was my second visit to Phnom Penh after a gap of two years. My earlier trip had been decent and hence decided to revisit. I also needed some variety from AC and Pattaya.... Phnom Penh continues to remain an option for short visit whenever I want break from Philippines or Thailand but will not substitute them for a long stay. Comparatively Jakarta has better looking girls, good infrastructure in terms of sauna Joints and Clubs but is closed environment hence not comparable.

There used to be a great place in PP called Sophies. It was a BJ bar. BBBJCIM, for $10 a pop. I went there in 2006. But alas, it has since closed. It was a classic place. Are there any other type of places like this now in PP? I may visit PP again soon.

Thanks.

Can anyone tell me whether I should trust the girl's photo on WeChat?

You should not. Get into a video chat with the girl and if she's refusing avoid her.

August 17 to 23 (6 days).

This was my second visit to Phnom Penh after a gap of two years. My earlier trip had been decent and hence decided to revisit. I also needed some variety from AC and Pattaya. This trip I had planned for stay of 2 days in Phnom Penh (Ohana, Residence room, approx. 60 SGD per night including breakfast) 2 days at Sihanoukville (Serendipity Resort, approx. 50 SGD per night) and 2 days back in Phnom Penh (Quay Hotel, approx. 90 SGD per night). I had stayed at Amanjaya Pancam last trip and it was luxurious, wanted to explore some of the other options hence did not commit to a single hotel for the entire stay this trip.

I wasn't expecting too many changes compared to my earlier visit and I was right. Rather than delving into day wise itinerary I thought it would be apt to summarize my experiences briefly as most of the information is already shared in recent FRs and I don't have anything special or extra to add.

Hostess Bars:

The bars get going after 5/6 pm but I saw the streets come alive only after 8/9 pm.

Street 104: Bar 104 remains the best bar on this street in terms of atmosphere and attitude of girls. Quality is decent if you are used to Khmer faces. The bill can quickly get out of control if you don't contain your emotions. The girls can drink very fast and there is no defined time between drinks. All said the fun element is highest in this bar. ST was 50 + 10 BF. Didn't ask or negotiate for LT but it would have been between 70 to 80 I presume.

Some other bars such as Top 10, Airforce, Bunny, Oscar etc were just worth a peek in, not more than 3 or 5 girls inside. Issue was many of these were very young girls. It is probable that they might not barfine hence wise to ask upfront before investing too much into drinks. The worst experience was Rose bar. I felt that this bar has been hyped a lot in previous FRs or maybe I was here on a wrong day wrong time. Nonetheless I will not bother if I visit again. Girls seem to appear drugged and lazy, atmosphere was gloomy, slow service and no energy in the bar not to mention the cost of drinks compared to other bars on the street. Not worth my time and money.

Street 130 and 136:

Bars on these street are better in terms of quantity and quality of girls, sharkiness element for drinks is considerably higher. I visited a few, avoided candy for any encounter with LB. Surprisingly two more bars I entered Tiger and Xanadu also had LBs mixed in the crowd. This is not a good trend if it's evolving. I prefer clear segregation. This streets are where I would spend most of my time if I wanted to go bar hopping.

Other bylanes and street:

All bylanes connecting the main streets house bars which are worth a peek if you like someone. Most of the times its in and out buying just a bottle of water. I do not have any specific recommendations like Angry birds or honeypot or Loco, etc. I think you should get into a bar wherever you find any girl to your liking and walk away if you don't like rather than sticking to specific names which you would have read or heard.

Clubs:

Darling Darling:

This still remains one of the premium pick up clubs. Choices were good but preference to Chinese men is notable as some girls would like to restrict themselves and will quote non negotiable high price in case you engage. I picked up two ST gals from here, decent experience, nothing outstanding. Quotes for ST started at 150 USD but girls generally agreed at 100 USD. Service was templeted. Girls will hit the shower as soon as you get back, finish the job and go away, similar to LOS. I did repeat one girl for LT which was 200 USD and overheads were approx. 50, I. E. Food, drinks, tip, etc. By the time we finished the first pop it was already 1 am and most of the regular clubs close early so we could not go anywhere out. Going to pontoon with her would have been like taking sand to the beach which I consciously avoided. This experience was an exception and decent encounter for me but albeit expensive considering I was heading for a 9 day stay in Pattaya from here.

I took a look around the Casino floor, there were few girls available at the bar near the performance stage but nothing worth engaging with. This seems to be a pit stop for all working girls on the Casino floor and Darling Darling. Difficult to not get attracted to hot casino staff walking around. DD also has some good looking girls working for the bar but they don't converse much except for the bill you have to pay for the drinks. Always are in rush considering the crowd in the bar.

Pontoon:

It seems this is the only late night pick up club in town. I did see one or two Daring Darling girls turn up here but these ones I didn't want earlier either. It would not be fair to compare this club to Insomnia in pattaya as the quality and no of girls is significantly less comparatively. There aren't more options in this city hence I was here most of the nights. Some of the good ones start at 100 USD and I had one who walked away when I tried to negotiate. Other girls do agree on 70 or 50 depending upon the time of the night / early morning. Club stays open till early mornings but it gets boring after 3 or 4 am when the crowds thin out hence if you haven't found someone by this time you should call it a night. I repeated a girl from here and she was good experience.

There are some other clubs namely Epic, Club Cambodia, Royal, etc but I did not bother as these would be mostly local clubs and not worth the time and energy as I was alone.

Daytime Action (1 pm till 7 pm):

This continued to be a problem for me. The LT girl was out by 12 or 1 am and there was nothing to do till the bars got going in the evening. I had visited all key massage places earlier trip and did not want to repeat considering the cost and infrastructure at these places. Wechat girls start responding in the evening and it's not as quick and efficient as LOS. I had visited LeCyrcee last trip and wasn't keen on visiting again neither Shanghai. Golden Sorya mall is best avoided, nothing but dregs there. Unless you are really lucky and have time to kill, not worth.

I never made it to Sihanoukville as it was raining every day and I was advised that the roads would not be good and drive dangerous.

Prices are creeping up in Phnom Penh. Girls are asking more, drinks are more, tuck tuck guys want 2 USD for every ride. Food is not exactly cheap.

I like the afternoon G clubs, Soi 6 or Soi full love inn kind of scene which does not exist here. Besides going to Aeon mall you are stuck in the room in the afternoons due to heat or rain outside. Criminal waste of time when on a short trip. Night time club options are also limited. So is quality and quantity.

Phnom Penh continues to remain an option for short visit whenever I want break from Philippines or Thailand but will not substitute them for a long stay. Comparatively Jakarta has better looking girls, good infrastructure in terms of sauna Joints and Clubs but is closed environment hence not comparable.

[MutantChicken]

If this is one on your bucket list 40 usd each no barfine as I didn't get them from those rip off bars.

[Banana Boi]

Should there be any concerns travelling to PP given the events over the past couple of days?

[AskeAske]

As much as I could be bothered, and that wasn't a great deal, perused your Phnom Penh recent posting history and as I suspected, absolutely nothing of value in the past 2 plus years other than letting everyone know how little you pay for such a higher quality girl but yet never provide any detail of where this apparent gold mine of cheap hot pussy us available?? Even went to the trouble of adding some stock photos to this recent post?

No value to anybody at all if you aren't going to provide and share shit!!

Useless is being polite.

MutantChicken is a welknown troll. Don't waste any time on his nonsense.

[MikeM488]

Thanks for the update Mikem488.

Any recommendations on a GF Hotel near the Flamingo Hotel area price range $35.00 max?

TC.

Guys are writing that NA NA hotel down a block from Pontoon. Has safe in room. $27 for double bed.

[MikeM488]

Hi!

Does anyone know if Flamingo's hotel is going to open again. There is no information on their website. I really liked this hotel and their staff particularly. Flamingos Hotel and Walkabout was one of the main reasons for me to visit Phom Penh.

BL.

When I was there in late April. They had taken down all the walls in the hotel. The only thing remaining were the floors. By now there should have been done some major remodeling or they took down the floors. I am sure somebody give you the current update on the building.

The website remains. They never answers any email. I tried in March.

[DingoD]

Whilst its true it is your money and you can pay whatever the hell you want for my part with that attitude ill be keeping the location where I found these girls for 15 usd 1 HR st no barfine a tight secret.
