Phnom Penh

Hit the bars on 118. More in and out bars. Hit Blue Bird on 130. Some decent looking ones. The one I wanted was too lazy to get off her ass to follow me into the club. I bought a couple of drinks but neither girl was very hands on so I left. Visited Sweet Lemon on 136 again. Again nice girls but they seem a bit dull there. My time was limited tonight so decided to leave. Hit Cavalry bar on 136 as a random bar I had not visited yet. Enjoyed some time with a pretty girl inside who never sits outside. I really liked her but my plan was to meet with my girl so I called my girl and the rest of my night was done.

This sounds like great advice and reflects me and BB's experience thus far. Thanks for posting this!

I'd only add that we really like the bars on 104 . Younger girls that are more action oriented at the bar. Though we also had a wild time at a 130 bar last night too. That bar last night would have put even Windmill to shame. 555.

Hi Uncle V.

Care to name the bar on 130 that you likend to Windmill? PM me if you prefer.

Trying to stay firm my friend.

Johnier.

Street 110.

More ordinary bars. Double D bar can be a lot of fun sometimes and Pretty Woman has some cute Japanese looking girls inside. Happy Girls and Red Lion the best of some very average bars.

We hit the above listed 110 bars last night including a couple more. Other than Pretty Woman where I could have went with one of the girls, these were in and out clubs. We hopped back to 104.

[Uncle Volodya]

We noticed this too. Surprising. doesn't seem like these girls have sex all that often.

Pussies are tight! 555 seriously. Difficult to get inside and I am no John Holmes.

because it seems that not a lot of girls get barfined based on my observations.

Is there a best time to hit these popular bars like Rose Bar, Angry Bird, Loco, Honey Pot, etc. Just making sure I'm hitting them at the right time since when I went these did not have good lineups.

I was pulled in by a cute girl to Candy and Uncle V met me there. He was so disgusted! Agree it's scary there but my girl (not a ladyboy) wasn 20 and pretty cute. She wanted 100 ST then came down to 80 ST. Then she said how much do I want to pay. It was early in the night. I moved on to Street 104 which, as Uncle V says, has younger girls than 130 and 136.



The 2 girls who quoted me $100 ST was the one at Candy and she ran across the street to literally grab me and pull me in to see her. The other was a girl who I had spent time with on a prior day in the 104 bar. She doesn't speak English so I was told 'up to you' by her friend before I took her home then she said she wanted $100 ST after sex.

I'm going to try to stick with English speaking girls moving forward. Unfortunately, the 20 year olds who just started working are the ones who seem to speak little to no English.

In my experience there really isn't a "best time" to hit those bars other than to say between 8 PM - 1130 PM. I say that "it doesn't matter" because it seems that not a lot of girls get barfined based on my observations. Unlike in Bangkok or Pattaya, where you need to be there before a certain time to catch the hotter looking ones. What I do know is that some girls work different shifts. A few of the hotter ones I have met both start their shift at 10 PM at I think Xanadu and Best 136 bar.

You might look for a girl at Butterfly across from Candy. She looks like a bit like a ladyboy because she is tall, got tits and ass and slim waisted. But I know her cousin personally and she is definitely not a ladyboy. Name is Akeng. But not sure if she uses that name in the bar. When I first met her with her cousin I thought she was a ladyboy and had to look at her quite closely to decide. Her cousin told me don't worry, she gets the "are you a ladyboy?" question a lot. But I never took her out because she didn't seem to click with me.

Anyway, the selection of girls is nowhere near Bangkok or Pattaya as I am sure you realized your first few days there. Or first few minutes there. I think the actual day you go matters more than the time of day in terms of seeing better looking girls. It's hit or miss.

If a girl quotes you $100 for short time, it's her polite way of saying she doesn't want to go out with you. Move on.

After living here for five years, here are some tips and recommendations.

1. Phnom Penh bars and girls are NOT the same as in Thailand or the Philippines.

2. Around 60-80% of the girls in the bars will go out with some customers.

3. Maximise your chances of getting the girl of your choice by being presentable. Smelly, badly dressed, drunk, aggressive guys will lose out.

4. If possible, learn a few words of Khmer, the local language. Just Hello, thank you, you're beautiful etc. It will make a lot of difference to how the girls treat you.

5. Suggested technique: buy the girl one drink, chat to her, establish a connection. Then ask if she sometimes goes out with customers.

6. If she says yes, you know you have a good chance (but still not guaranteed! If she says no, you know where you stand and can either cut your losses and move on, or keep drinking just for her company.

7. Prices. Always a controversial topic. Currently in the main hostess bars they range from $25-60 short time, and $40-100 long time, depending on the bar, the girl, how much she needs the money, and whether she likes you or not (refer to points 3 and 4 above).

8. If a girl quotes you $100 for short time, it's her polite way of saying she doesn't want to go out with you. Move on. (except at Darling Darling where that's the standard starting price).

9. Personally I find that if you don't try to push their price down too much, their attitude and performance is much better. Understandable really.

10. Yes there are cheaper options but the overall experience will reflect the cheaper price. Cyrcee bar in street 49 is a well known grab-and-go bar. $25-30 for short time.

11. Golden Sorya Mall on street 51 has dozens of freelancers for $15-30 short time, but they may be on drugs, rob you, or have some STD disease.

12. The riverside road near what Phnom, street 63, the road near the Japanese Friendship bridge all have street girls for $5-20 short time.

13. Some bars, notably in streets 104 and 136, will try to pad your bills with extra drinks or incorrect addition. Beware.

14. Try not to be walking alone in darker streets after 2 am if you are very drunk, or you risk being mugged by ladyboys or guys on motorcycles.

The bars have a different 'flavour' in each street.

Streets 104 and 136.

Filled with tourist-focussed bars. Very loud music, girls often aggressively seeking ladydrinks, bill padding, a general in-your-face attitude.

In street 136 try Corner Bar 136, VVIP, Xanadu, Helicopter bar, 69 bar and Sweet Lemon bar. Candy bar or Butterfly bar if you want some ladyboys. In street 104 try Rose bar (40+ girls), Airforce and Rouge bar. Oscars has live bands each night.

Street 130.

More upmarket bars with some great girls and a more relaxed feel.

Honeypot bar, Angry Birds bar, and Loco bar are the best of the bunch. Happy Times and Simply the Best may be worth a quick look. Two new small bars, X-Dream, and Black & White seem friendly.

Street 118.

Fairly ordinary bars here. At The Office bar is the best. It has girls dancing on the inside balconies at weekends and a smart interior. Island bar for ladyboys.

Street 110.

More ordinary bars. Double D bar can be a lot of fun sometimes and Pretty Woman has some cute Japanese looking girls inside. Happy Girls and Red Lion the best of some very average bars.

Street 51.

Lots of small unappealing bars. Cheap girls, cheap drinks.

Shanghai bar (50+ girls, some live music, upmarket) and Black Cat bar are both good.

question 2 - where can I get the best steak here?

"New York steak house".

No. 264,63 Preah Trasak Paem St. (63), Phnom Penh.

[Lonely566]

The guys flying in for a quickie don't have time to negotiate or even learn the local prices. And us that prefer to stay for a month or two suffer these guy's inflationary behavior. Although if I only had one week in country, I would behave exactly the same way. I think the girls know the difference and charge accordingly. Will be diving into the fun in a few days. Landing in Phnom Penh. I'm bringing my stateside GF. Should be quite interesting. Her libido is more active than my own. I'm looking forward to writing a trip report. We plan on hanging out for five months. That represents a lot of pussy. One reason the guys paying 100 $/ night make it hard for me. The poster states that 50-100 $ is the new reality. That needn't be so, as the prevailing wage in Cambodia is still 2 $/ day. 20 bucks should make anyone happy. Later lonely.

I second everything my main man BB has to say. Last night he hooked me up with an amazing hot little spinner for all night FS. She had the most amazing little ass I have ever had the pleasure of pounding.

I happily gave her $80 the next morning and would have given more if she wasn't happy with it.


$60-100 LT is the new reality here gentleman. Get used to it. The 1990's were two decades ago. LOL.

I am sure you can get them for $30 and under too. But I don't drink bottom shelf liquor at the bar and I won't' take girls of that quality home with me form the bar either. There is nothing worse than waking up with an awful hangover and a girl curled up under your arm whom you'd gnaw your own arm off to free your self from. 555.

Stay horny my friends.

Uncle-V.

[Uncle Volodya]

Mine asked me $100 ST! Afraid to ask how much LT would be. If only she could speak English I would have clarified beforehand. Luckily I had a translator with me to clarify why she was so unhappy when I handed her $50. No big deal one less girl I have to buy drinks for at my club.

I should have kept my friend who I gave to Uncle V!

Generous to a fault. 555.

I had a bar girl who asked for $100 ST last night. She was in top 5 I've seen her though and better than the $150 DD girls I've seen.
Went to another popular bar written on here, Honey Pot. Other than one cute girl Uncle Volodya grabbed, the other 10 girls were dogs.
