Phnom Penh

[QUOTE=Opebo]I was in PP a few weeks ago with a friend and neither of us ever paid more than $1 for an individual ride from river side area to the Walkabout area, the Sharkies area, or the lakeside area. We went to Martini's once and it was much less than $5 but I can't remember how much - I think maybe $3, but $4 back with a foursome. When we went from the river side to Walkabout together we paid $1 plus 2,000 Riel, and when we went back with a foursome we bargained for $2.50 or $3 but once got stuck with $4 due to focusing on the girls. Later we tried not discussing price but just handing the driver the 'correct' (barang) amount and walking away, ignoring his protests. One time a driver tried not to take the money out of my hand to thwart this, arguing with me, but in the end he took it and I walked away.[/QUOTE]Kenny,

Can you tell me if this hotel is GF?

[QUOTE=Dinghy]Sorry Jelly - can't resist... "Maybe MTV was more interesting than you were?" ;) <ducking and running>[/QUOTE]
Still, I think it would have been culturally polite to wait until I was done. She would have only missed one song.

[QUOTE=Jelly37]I've had great service from beautiful women in PP at low prices. On one of my visits in April, 2005 I had brought a girl from Martini back to my hotel. This is a new one on me. We were going at it on my bed with me on top, when she calmly reached behind her head for the remote to change the channel. Can't remember what Thai or Viet channel was on, but she switched it to MTV. WTF?

Anyway I still go to Martini. Just one of those incidents I laugh about now.[/QUOTE]

I didn't even get the joke until Dinghy commented . . . I assumed she wanted music for f*cking to . . .

I stayed at Riverside hotel for a week in june. Clean hotel. I booked through
Agoda. The location is very good. Walking distance top riverside shops and restaurents and bars. Definitely GF. Only thing i did not like is the window Air conditioner. It was noisy. Otherwise king bed was very good. So are the bathrooms.

Eddie, I said myself 5 USD was unreal. Guess the drives also know it & just want to have a bargain basis to get $2 or 3.
1000 $ airfare only ex West coast and possibly 2 stopover.
I am eastcoast and have to go to LAX or YVR and then via SEL, TPE, KUL or NRT.
I am trying to avoid the US airlines, crummy service...best choice after Thai cancelled the JFK flight is EVA AIR via TPe.
Damage 1700 USD in Evergreen Deluxe which is good - 12 hours Economy is more than I can stand.

Use NY Hotel but VIP room-50 USD.
Clean, working WiFi & CERTAINLY girl friendly.
A bit basic, but safe and bath ok.
Brekkie included.
[QUOTE=Fish N Chips]I'll be in PP during November, can any of ya feed me some recommendations on GF-3star-AC-No Bugs-Clean-accommodations?[/QUOTE]

Folks,
I gotta be back in Phnom Penh Oct 12th to Oct 19th-yeehaw.
Private trip but have to meet someone for biz as well so I gotta book a bit more upscale.
Anyone knowing whether Phnom Penh Hotel is girl friendly ?

Other than that if any fellow mongerer wants to hit me up for a cold Angkor on Sisowath Quai that time go for it...

a question from the other end of the cheapscrape roof-over-my-head corner . . .

if i get a joint where there's only a shared bathroom, do you think khmer/viet girls might be less prissy about washing?

don't get me wrong, i like 'clean', but most girls will wash between mongers anyway. i'd rather she had an honest few hours sweat and musk - than still half wet and a p*ssy smelling of soap.

There is two nice young motodop with tuk tuk always stationed in front of la croisette of sisovath quay. One of them as twin brother. Good guys, deeply honest. I know them when they worked at Sunday guesthouse.

Golden rule with motodop fixed the price in advance, if the price seemed to high don t try to bargain find another one

When you re arrived Told them to leave, otherwise they will overcharged you for waiting time at ridiculous price.

For backpakers never let them bring you to boeng kok lake, hotels are 1 dollar cheaper, than over place but without convenience, and you will be far from everything. Which mean you will need to use moto dop or rent bike at expensive price. Restaurant in this area are more expensive and all quote in dollars.

I have asked this question before - without it being answered.

63rd street is a few kms long.

Are the brothels (karaokes) just past Heart of darkness travelling north, cross the junction and then found on the right hand side? Also, then turning right there are more. And turning right again lots more?

I can't believe these are the brothels i have heard mentioned here.

I have never seen a farang hanging about these.

Please advise. I dont really want to go into one of these to have to listen to high pitched love songs for an hour.

And i have spent many evenings looking around toul kork without much luck either but there is meant to be a strret full of brothels there.

Thanking you all.

heart of darkness is on street 51 (Pasteur) 63 is a little west toward Monivong (next block I think) Look for the short itme brothels in street 154 (which would be the next block toward the market from HOD) and turn right - on the right about 1/2 to 3/4 toward the next main road (don't remember the name)

Hi,

I'll be in PP next September. Can somebody of you tell me where I can find a good massage with fuck? I know that campbodia is differetn from Thailand and massage parlour especially but in the psast I could find some of those places where I could find what I was looking for. But at the moment I don't remmeber at all where. I think some hotel with "massage".

Thank you

Hi,

I'll be in PP next month can somebody of us tell me where I can find a good massage with fuck? I know that Cambodia is not Thailand and also masage parlour are different, but I already found it last times in PP but I don't remember the places. They were some hotels with "massage". I don't like the very dirty brothels where you can not find good massage.

Thank you

I stay at the Asian hotel, staff will ask if you want a massage, $5, then negotiate with the girl, they usually ask for $4.
