[QUOTE=MaxMM;1700840]Hi all,
I will be visiting PP in April with a big client and need to entertain him the few nights we're spending there.
I was wondering whether there are some high-end joints with more up-scale girls in PP? I've been told Pontoon used to be the place to to go to to pick up up-scale ladies couple of years ago but might not be the case anymore. Any advise mates? Bars, nightclubs, KTVs, escort agencies, anything that is Worth trying is fine for me as I need to pull out all the stops.
Thanks,

Suggest you ask for 2 or 3 possible KTVs at your hotel and then check these out in person prior to client's arrival. The KTVs vary with respect to food, music, and quality of girls. To really impress the client you might make arrangements for a girl or two to join you at the hotel and accompany you to dinner and then the KTV. The KTV will arrange and make sure the girls wear business suits, etc. At the KTV, be prepared to splash out several hundred dollars, all in. You will be buying alcohol by the bottle (Johnny Walker or better) and the price will be a multiple of what you pay in a liquor store. Quality food also will cost. But that's the scene when you are entertaining an Asian client. You got to lay on the bling.
If your client is Western and just wants to play up a bit in PP, your choices are more limited. Some KTVs welcome Westerners, but without some local language and knowledge of KTV customs, you will struggle a bit. Many Westerners do not get the scene for a night at a KTV. There are no interesting upscale P4P places in PP that cater for Westerners. Beer gardens can have interesting girls, but you need to speak Khmer and know how these work. PP does not have the equivalent of a London lap dance club, at least not for Westerners. There are upscale places where you can take your chances on picking up a non P4P lady. But this is probably not what your client expects to do.
I live here for years and never go anywhere near Riverside or St 51 bars; they are all pretty much downmarket and cater to the Cheap Charlie Westerners who get a thrill out of paying $10ST for an illiterate village girl. If your client is important, I would avoid any and all in these areas.
