Great report, but a little discouraging, as I'm off to PP in 2 weeks for the first time. Is there a chance you just happen to hit at a bad time?
Here are the three most important things I've noticed.
Fewer girls.
Somewhat less attractive girls.
Higher prices.
[QUOTE=Rising Son]Well, after four weeks in Phnom Penh, I'm finally filing a report.
You can still have a great time here. It's just more difficult.
RS[/QUOTE]RS,
Excellent report man. Great info. I'm headed back in a few months so the update is really helpful. Price hikes suck though. PP has gotten alot of international attention recently.
[QUOTE=Rising Son]You can still have a great time here. It's just more difficult.
RS[/QUOTE]RS, thanks for the great report. I'll be in SR & PP in April. I'm a regular monger around Asia but my first visit to Cambodia.
Your post kind of solidified some of my choices after reading this forum for the past few months. As I can't take girls back to my room, my plans were: Sophies, Cyrcee & Mikado. Based on your post, looks like these are a good match for my tastes. I'll move Mikado to the top of the list. I gotta go to Sophies (I got this vision of this place with guys getting sucked off at the bar. Gotta see it for myself). Then if I've got steam left I'll head to Cyrcee.
Thanks again for taking the time to post.
I'll give a F and SR once I'm back.

Hi Rising Son,
That is a really great report that is packed with information and is a good read. I agree with everything you say and would add that, apparrently, the Viets who did not have 'work permits' were kicked out of Phnom Penh and this explains the smaller numbers than previously.
I found that the Golden Vine prices were much higher than other bars, and wouldn't say that I was the ugliest, fattest and fattest person to visit Phnom Penh. Are you able to say what price you negotiated here?
Your post is as worthy as any to be posted as a Report of Distinction, does it need to be recommended by the editor?
[QUOTE=NanaHawk]Your post is as worthy as any to be posted as a Report of Distinction, does it need to be recommended by the editor?[/QUOTE]No, ROD don't need to be approved or recommended by the author or by ISG management. Simply follow the directions for posting on the ROD thread. If a post is worthy then it should be in the ROD for easy reference but take notice that many have been flamed in the past for posting ROD that were unworthy. So always make sure it is informative and will be useful for your fellow mongers.
BTW: I also read Rising Son's post and was about to post it in the ROD but AZN already beat me to it.
Cheers,
PT

RS[/QUOTE]Hey RS,
Spending 4 weeks in PP, damn do I envy you. Nice report.
Last I heard, you were in the hospital recovering and after getting kicked out of hospital I thought you were heading for Chinese food (oops-I mean pussy)--ha ha.
Glad you made it to PP.
Cheers

[QUOTE=Muleface]Great report, but a little discouraging, as I'm off to PP in 2 weeks for the first time. Is there a chance you just happen to hit at a bad time?[/QUOTE]I'm afraid the report is pretty accurate and I saw the same trend.
I've been to PP many times from 2001-2004, then in 2005 only once and since then never again. And I don't see any reason to visit PP nowadays.
But for first-timer it's an interesting place, no doubt.
Cheers!
Comments on RisingSons great report: The bar with the Mexican name you don't recall is the Zapata bar. The owners here also own the Zanzibar in st 104, the girls in this bar and the Rose Bar in the same street, go into The Pickled Parrot after work. The Pickled Parrot is a 24 hour bar. Some of these girls are looking for a place to sleep of a night, so if your offering your bed untill the morning. Here's your chance, some will have sex with you, some will not.

Bow Wow[/QUOTE]Other option is getting a room short time. just ask the hotel guy how much for 1-2 hrs. they'll give you a reduced rate (around 50%) prob 3-7 bucks depending on the place.
[QUOTE=NanaHawk]post is as worthy to be posted as a Report of Distinction, ?[/QUOTE]NanaHawk,
I've copied the simple directions for posting in the ROD thread.
In the future, if you feel any post should be posted there, then just follow the instructions below. Cheers.

This link only refers to the thread number and the page number within the thread. It does NOT reffer to the actual report, and thus it will not be accurate in the event that other reports are deleted from the thread or if the thread is split.
-- for all the nice words about my earlier report. I wish it had been more positive, but I thought it was more important to be honest than to be entertaining.
I never actually took anyone out of Golden Vine, so can't help with the prices there. And, of course, the bar near GV and VooDoo is called Zapata. Thanks for the prod. I think I'm short-circuiting lately.
By the way, I want to say that Casa (mentioned earlier) is a nightmare -- too loud, too dark, too unfriendly, too jittery. It eats it. And I have always found the disco in what used to be the Holiday International (now renamed the Oasis) to be full of girls who are really interested only in heavyweight Khmers or well-heeled Chinese, especially since the hotel is (or was) owned by Singaporean Chinese, who also accounted for most of their guests.
I have to say that the best-looking Viet girls I've seen this trip are at Moscow, and they cost plenty: $75 to $100. At that price I haven't bitten, but it's not because my mouth wasn't hanging open. There are some real stunners there.
On the other hand, I left out one piece of good news. The season is finally coming to an end. Thus, due to the classic capitalistic economic model, PP is shifting from a seller's market to a buyer's market. Many of the best-looking girls at Martini are spending most of the evening sitting on the wall.
Bad bargaining position for them, good bargaining position for us.
On Sunday I'm going to the Dongguan-ChangPing area of China for a couple of weeks (or more) before coming back here. Will do some sort of report after I've sorted out my impressions.

Has anyone ever been to the Sugar Shack bar? Also what kind of bar is it and are all the girls available for take out? Their website looks appealing.

[QUOTE=Ibeme]Has anyone ever been to the Sugar Shack bar? Also what kind of bar is it and are all the girls available for take out? Their website looks appealing.[/QUOTE]If you go thru the alleyway next to California 2 and make a left turn as you exit you will be right ihn front of the Sugar Shack.
It is a smallish bar that has reinvented it's self from a wine bar that was going broke to a comfortable place that at times has some lovelies available to bar fine.

nocbj4me[/QUOTE]Hi NoCB,
If you are refering to the ROD links, then the links are just examples( not real links) Jackson had used to show how it would look when a ROD is correctly posted. I had simply copied the step by step instructions for others that had inquired how to post a ROD.
