Phnom Penh

[QUOTE=Amjeck]How much cheaper than Thailand? Can you give some comparisons?[/QUOTE]

Decent hotel- Same as pattaya.
Food - I found more expensive because of dollar currency and most of the decent food can be found only in good restaurents.
In Pattaya any restaurent, even the hole in the wall places serve
good food and cheaper prices.
Drinks- Same as Pattaya.
Travel - Same if you use moto compared to tuk tuk.
Buses are very cheap also.
Sightseeing- Entry to angkor wat is expensive.
Girlie bars- There is no pressure to buy drinks for girls. Barfine was $7.
St was $15-$20, Lt was $25-$30
Freelancers- St $10-$15 LT- $20-$25. No Need to buy them drinks.
Cambo girls hardly drink anyway.
Scam factor- Watch the check carefully before paying. They tend to pad it
up and pocket the money.
Pimps promise and may deliver bad girls. I never tried.
GFE- Like everywhere else depends on the girl.

[QUOTE=Iching]The rumour i heard is that the Cambodian government have restricted the amount of vietnamse woman they let into the country after K11.

It would be interesting if any mongers know the story here.[/QUOTE]Honestly, I don't understand what you mean. The large majority of Vietnamese people in Cambodia are still illegal for a while. If a viet want to cross the vietnam/Cambodian he or she just has to paid highly corrupted immigration officer, nothing else.

[QUOTE=Fast Eddie 48]Channy,

Never say forever as long as newbie are bring here by moto driver on comisson and there are money to be make they will be in business but not in the open.

Fast eddie 48[/QUOTE]Yes Fast Eddie, it s true, Never said never. But 63 street ever in her golden age never closed fully, it s the favourite place for khmer guys in need of cheap viet girls. Ever during major carckdown brothels quickly re-opened with back entrance.(these place make too much money for not tempted corrupt cops) since 2006 many local brothels don t accepted barang. For pimps: barang=ngo problems=more money for cops (because barang are supposed to far more than khmer guy)

Some Brothels will accepted barang just in the goal to robbed them.

Which make me smile in this report.; is girls near Sorya mall, at the crossroad with street 154, don t suffered about this crackdown.; so strange. Probably because they are khmer, and the crackdown once again targeted only viet.

Cheers

Last 30 days the nightlife in PP has changed.

Bleu Lagoon on str 108 is closed coz of some hand bar dancing and the owner arrested/

I'm only gone less than a year and the shit hit the fan. There is almost no reason for a return visit later this year as most options are eliminated.
Are there any news if the local brothels on st 154 and touk K are affected?
and also Mikado and LeCyr.?

Welcome to PP and happy mongering[/QUOTE]Can this be true? Is the Cambodian government going insane? I was in Phnom Penh just this last March and I thought the scene was great and the girls so nice. How could these fascists pull this shit. I immediately had to listen to Bob Marley’s' classic song 'Burnin' and Lootin' with the opening lines "This morning I woke up in a curfew. Oh God, I was a prisoner too".

I planned on returning to PP this February. But if this Govt. lock down remains in force looks like I will be heading down to Pattaya instead. I will be more than ok, but I feel sorry for the girls and the bar owners. What BS.

Hey guys - because I am thinking about trip to Cambo - I have read reports of many bars being closed due to a crackdown.

Which is true:

1. Nearly all P4P is shutdown.

2. Only the P4P for farangs is shut down.

3. Only the viet providers have been shut down, the khymer poontang is still for sale?

Are their still freelancers walking about or are they shut down too?

Does the shutdown only apply to PP or to all of Cambo?

Should I forget it?

Just had the one night and had nothing big planned but headed over to Rose Bar to find lots and lots of girls 'working' there. Some cute, some not so cute but mostly fun girls.

Got chatting to a couple of girls, and as I got more and more drunk I got liberal with the girlie drinks. Bought about 5 in all at $3 dollars each. At midnight I found out one of the girls was not even working that night but had just come in for some fun. She wanted to leave so took her back to my hotel (flamingos), with no mention of cash. Anyway, she stripped off and it was obvious she had a baby but body was still good. Not a bad fuck either. At about 1.30 she got a phone call from her 'sister' who needed some 'help' so she had to leave. She promised to come back later but I didn't believe that.

Fell asleep and at 2.30 there was a knock at the door. Open it to see her again and the other cute girl from the bar! Had a fun night fucking the pair of them and once again in the morning. They didn't do anything to each other but were very attentive to me. (as per usual with Khmers, there was no BJ)

In the morning I gave them $30 between them and said my goodbyes. They never asked for money and seemed happy with what they got.

Was in Phnom Penh over the last weekend
Freelancers were very much around in Walkabout. Quality though average.
LT cost was $25

Next day barfined a good looking/stacked babe from Happy Man bar near the riverside. Bar fine was $5 and $20 for the babe for ST- 2hours. Could have had an allnighter for $25 maybe but decided not to as I had an early morning flight back to Singapore.

Safety is in taking them to your hotel and not using outside lodgings.
Stayed at Flamingo's which takes care of one quite well. They also call up the room when the girl leaves to ensure everything is allright.

Ok, there were previous reports of all doom and gloom in PP, but according to some new reports not all venues are affected. So maybe safe to say "party on" but perhaps not in all places as before the crackdown- or am I wrong with this assumption?

PT

Yes, It does appear that all places have not been affected.

The moto and tuk tuk guys will have the updates when you reach.

I recently emailed the moto driver I will use upon arrival in PP and questioned him about bar closings. He says only 3 have been effected but didnot say which ones. All others are open and running as usual.

If thats true, then it is a sign that perhaps
1)some bars were not paying off their proper "bribes" with the police and other officials.
2)could be NGO pressure behind this and police had to crackdown on some to make it seem they are doing their jobs.

I will continue to monitor things. Pattaya is my back up plan. So even though I have already purchased a non refundable Bangkok Airways roundtrip ticket, if it appears that my favorite bars are under siege, there is no way I will get on the plane. I’ll take a taxi to Pattaya and not give it a further thought. Roll right stone!

Well sorry guys but let me tell you from someone that lives here and visits the hostess bars a couple of times a week.

They have all been affected. Nearly all the bars except maybe two have removed the tinting from the windows on the front doors or glass. All the girls have been directed not to dress sexily. This includes the big three Sharky Martini and Walkabout.

In most of the hostess bars the number of girls has been slashed and it wasnt the fatter older uglier girls either. There are about 3 bars that have kept up the numbers of girls.

Another question was is it affecting places other than Phnom Penh. The answer is definitly Yes. There have been raids in Siem Reap, Palin, and in Snooky. I have heard some very disturbing news about the level of security in Snooky as well.

I know it all sounds doom and gloom but this is first hand experience as of this week or you could listen to a moto who is not allowed in any of these bars.

Im not saying dont come just make sure you have much lower expectations than before. You wont find sexy dressed girls dancing on bars. The vibe in the bars is now very low key.
