Phnom Penh

[Zeta0]

I keep thinking I'd write about my interesting experience with the prolific $5 massage in Phnom Penh, but apart from being lazy, life just gets in the way. I wrote about my Day 1 experience at http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post3045595.

It was Day 2. I woke up with a ray of sunshine hitting my face on my white (is it still white?) bed-sheet. I jumped up and looked aside, quickly moving the three layers of towels I'd put down to cover the mishap from the night before. Surprisingly, it didn't look too bad. It looks like those twenty minutes of scrubbing really did clean up the mess.

I freshened up and walked downstairs to get my breakfast, which was included with the room at the Lux Riverside hotel. The breakfast was much better than my expectations. I saw a few grandpa aged gentlemen in their shorts having breakfast with their dangerously young local companions. They must've gone for LT. Nevertheless I definitely need to work on my confidence!

I quickly finished my breakfast and sprinted across the arena outside. The day was bright. I made a few rounds around the hotel and finally decided to walk to the Royal Palace. On my way, I walked past a street market with fresh vegetables and poultry, a monastery, and a bunch of $5 massage shops with similar architecture and signboards.

The resemblance is too uncanny. They are all built like a shanty and compartmentalized by thin partitions, with all the walls covered in some sort of conspicuous wallpaper. I mapped them from various angles as I was walking past them every few blocks with my curious eyes. It's the same across all the shops. Are they owned by the same owner?

Now I know what you veterans are thinking. This moron is going to make the same mistake we have warned against in numerous posts on this website. I know, and I am not a moron; well, at least that's what I was thinking. I've read all of your posts and already knew what the deal was. The massage is indeed a $5 massage, but your net worth will sink more than $5 by the time you're coming out of the shop because someone has switched out a few bills with fakes in your pocket.

I knew (I thought) I was smart and brushed off the thought of going into such a shop. I marched towards the Royal Palace and decided to spend the next few hours appreciating fine Cambodian culture and architecture rather than falling for a cheap trick massage.

I spent a few hours seeing the palace and the surrounding areas. The sun was right above my head and the day was hot. I figured I'd had enough cultural enrichment and it was time to go back to the hotel. I bought a coconut and a sugarcane juice to quench my thirst on this scorching day. Prices are so cheap. I wish I could leave the cold, barren land of the US and move to SEA!

As I was heading towards my hotel, I couldn't stop noticing the $5 massage shops. Like a fly that can't stop flying toward a glowing flame, I couldn't resist the magnetic field of these places. What's the worst that could happen? I already knew the deal. Rule number one: do not put your clothes in the locker in the room, as they have access to the locker from the other side of the wall. I kept walking and tried to brush off my impulses, but then I found myself walking past this one particular shop.

The pull was just too strong. I had my sugarcane juice in one hand and my confidence in the other, thinking I could outsmart the scam. There was nothing special about this shop compared to the others, except for a cute young lady in her early twenties totally engrossed on her phone while sitting on a cheap plastic chair, and an old lady sleeping on a dirty low COT left to her in this summer heat, seemingly guarding the door to the mysterious interior. Is she her mom or the mamasan? Either way, the pure indifference of the young lady somehow caught my attention, and I started walking toward her.

I asked the cute lady about the massage, and she stood up, confirming it was indeed $5. Her mom (or the mamasan?) was still sleeping; the summer heat must be exhausting. The lady walked through the mysterious door and I followed.

The walls were truly a piece of art, made of the flimsiest cardboard imaginable and wrapped in a busy, violetish wallpaper. There were several rooms, quite the facility for a $5 shop. She led me into a tiny space where a COT tucked into the left corner took up nearly the entire room, extending all the way to the door. To the right, the wall started right at the entrance, with a small, pointed locker bolted to it. She signaled for me to undress and put my clothes in that chamber of secrets!

My heart started jumping. Everything was matching the scripts! It reminded me of my school days when I had prepared all night using a selected question bank from the last few years, and during the test, the questions actually matched what I'd prepared for. It was going to be so easy, wasn't it! I immediately told her that I am not putting my clothes in that mysterious chamber; instead, they will be on the bed next to my legs with a direct line of sight! She seemed disappointed, but was okay with it!

I undressed and laid face down on the bed, with my clothes piled at the end next to my legs. I knew I could lift my head at any time, look downward to the right, and keep a constant check on them. I was thrilled to be outsmarting the scam.

The massage started; well, if you could even call it a massage. Let's call her Mei. She put some oil on her hands and was lightly brushing my back. Calling it a massage would be a shame, but here I was. My heart was still pounding and I didn't know why. In my mind, I had thwarted the scam, but something didn't quite feel right. Was it my sixth sense?

Mei said something in Cambodian, maybe to break the ice? Wait, I don't speak Cambodian, and so far I spoke with her in English. Also she was a bit loud. My heart started pounding harder. Something didn't feel right. Did I hear a sound? For some reason I was kind of spell bound and didn't lift my head to look down right. The light brushing on my back continued. I started feeling something was off and could do nothing about it.

I finally broke the spell and looked downward to the right. My heart stopped. There was a guy with a bowl haircut in a crawled position, his torso halfway through a square-shaped hole in the flimsy wall, rummaging through my pants. Little did I know there was another entry to Pandora's box exactly next to the COT where I had placed my clothes. It was the very same wall where the locker was that I'd refused to put my clothes in.

As soon as I looked, time froze. We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. I didn't know who was in a worse position, me being naked with oil on my back or him in a crawled position holding my pants. He then broke the ice by dropping the pants, said sorry and instantly disappeared, slamming the panel shut. I jumped up, scrambling for my wallet to check my money. I saw the stack of Cambodian Riel and my $50 bill still sitting there. I breathed a sigh of relief, figuring I had caught him just in time. Mei suddenly made a cross sign with her hands, playing dumb and signaling "no massage!

The atmosphere in the room was surreal. The silence was deafening as I felt a surge of adrenaline, a mix of horror and a strange sense of victory. I figured the worst was already past me. I rebuked her for scamming innocent customers and lectured her to earn money in an honest way, then again lied face down. I was not leaving before getting my full massage!

I don't recall whether it was her or myself who brought up the extra curricular activities but we ended up agreeing on a $20 free hand exercise. The exercise was as bad as the massage, if not worse. She was reciprocating her oily hands vigorously as if slowing down a bit may bring the universe to a halt and I was not having any of that. To end things more amicably, I offered another $5 to be able to knead her bosoms and take a nibble. By virtue of that I was able to release and come to an end!

I paid a total of $30 in Cambodian Riel, got dressed, and stepped out of the room. The older lady was still sleeping in the summer heat, undisturbed. I jumped onto the street with mixed feelings.

Was I happy? Was I shaken? One thing I could tell was that my heart was still pounding. Maybe it was the adrenaline of the confrontation, or the happy ending? Who knows?

I kept walking toward my hotel, but even two blocks away, I was still covered in goosebumps. Something didn't feel right, a lingering shadow I couldn't shake. I stopped in my tracks and pulled out my wallet.

The edge of the $50 bill was right there where I had left it. I hadn't lost anything. For some reason, I automatically pulled the note out. My God! It was a washed out, cheap fake. The guy with the bowl haircut had indeed switched the bill, and I, like a moron, had actually believed I'd caught him before the switcheroo.

The next few minutes were even more dramatic. I can be as much of a coward as you can imagine, but I spun 180 degrees and sprinted back toward the shop. The setup was exactly the same as when I first walked in. Mei was totally engrossed in her phone while sitting on that same cheap plastic chair, and the old lady was still sleeping on the dirty low COT to her left in the summer heat, still seemingly guarding the door to the mysterious interior of the scam.

If you've watched The Truman Show, it was exactly like a scene from the movie. Like a glitch in the Matrix. Shouldn't they at least be celebrating the $50? I had just been "mugged," yet there was no adrenaline, no whispering, no counting the loot. Just the same static, unceremonious silence. It was almost insulting. Funny that the old lady was still sleeping; apparently, a mid-day heist doesn't even qualify for an eye-twitch.

I jumped into the shop, holding the fake bill in my left hand. I yanked Mei right out of her chair and shouted at the top of my lungs, "This is a fake bill! Where is he!

I started pulling her toward the door, determined to go back inside and find the guy with the bowl haircut, as if he were still just sitting in that crawl position on the other side of the wall. This was finally enough to wake the old lady. She sprang up from the bed, remarkably nimbly for her age, and pretended to be scratching her eyes. She walked over to me, took the fake bill, held it up to the light to examine it better, and then quickly tore it into pieces!

Without a word, she reached into her clothes, pulled out a real $50 bill, and handed it to me. I am pretty confident that it is the same bill the bowl cut guy stole from me. Not sure how that traveled from the guy to her purse given she was sleeping the entire time. The world is full of mysteries and we petty humans should not try to decode every one of them!

I examined the note thoroughly and it was indeed a real bill. I put it back into my wallet, got out of the shop, walked back to my hotel and took a long nap! Well, readers, this is the end of my $50 switcheroo massage journey. I have a few more experiences to share from this trip, but nothing as dramatic as this. Until then!

Note: Also posted this on another forum.

This is a follow up to my report I posted last week.

I hung out on Bassac Lane a couple of times. Thank God they close the lane at night to most traffic. I trolled for FLs but didn't see any. I did notice many teenage boys hanging around.

I've been to Phnom Penh 5-6 times since January 2025 and this is the first time I've seen these teenage boys on Bassac and 130 136 in the evenings.

The days can be long in PP but luckily we play golf and decided to head out for a round in the morning. Back for a swim and then a rest to prepare for the night's hunt. I was totally committed to giving the girl for the night before another go, however I got a message from her that she was not going to work tonight. While I was disappointed it meant that I was free to look at other bars. We decided to go to a bar called Wild Orchid. I have been in that bar a few times with mixed success but my wingman had a girl already waiting for him there and so I decided to go with him. We walked along street 136 to check out bars for another time and I noticed that bar 69 had a lot of girls worth checking out. So I put that bar into the memory bank. When we got to Wild Orchid my wingman's girl was out the front waiting for him. Must admit that he knows how to pick them because she was dressed and black and her figure was fantastic with a face to match. She of course was happy to see him because things are quiet again tonight. I picked a girl who would not normally be my type but had a very cute face. While her body was fine, except for a really small set of breasts, she did not speak a lot of English and I was not sure if would be able to gel. We played pool and connect 4 and with the bar having a few more customers it was actually buzzing and the girls were having fun. My girl starting to unwind and after about an hour gave me a DFK. Took this as a good sign and we drank with the girls and their mummy for few more hours. My wingman was keen to get his girl back to the hotel for some action and asked for the mummy for the tab. The mummy then said to me that my girl wanted to come back to the hotel with me as well. I had not made up my mind about her but given the mummy basically made the call I thought I would go with the flow and was I glad I did. She was excellent at her craft. Loved DATY, DFK, BBBJ and offered multiple positions. She gave a GFE and nearly PSE and loved it doggy style. Played with herself while I was doing her in missionary. After the deed I was expecting her to shower and leave but to my surprise she showered and stayed on for a few hours talking via translator until she fell asleep. WIR, yep.

Day 5 we decided to head to one of the German beer bars to play pool and drop off some laundry. Again spent a few hours by the swimming pool and I really needed to get some sleep as the girl from the previous night left early and I could not go back to sleep. After a few hours of sleep we headed out for dinner and planned to drop into bar 69. Along the way we checked out other bars and planned to go into Champion bar another night which looked to have some talent. Put that into the memory for tomorrow. As we approached bar 69 I noticed a girl out the front with a pretty face and a little larger than most girls with a larger set of breasts. I grabbed her and then once inside my wingman selected his girl. Once again he picked one with a tight body and looks to match. We played pool and had fun with the girls. The manager came over as well and boy was she a looker. Would have been stunning in her younger days but is easily someone I would bar fine today. My girl took a little time to warm up but after a few drinks and me playing pool with a few of her friends, she started to unwind. I normally do not go for the girls with fake breasts but she was giving me a lot of attention, DFK and playing with my nipples. So I thought I would take the punt and my wingman also wanted to take the punt with his. We left the bar around midnight and by then the bar had a find more punters. I did notice that girls in the bar were pretty good quality and fun. Back in the room the girl did not disappoint at all. DFK, DATY, multiple positions and offered BBBJ. She was a total surprise with her passion and her desire to get to me finish. Hard these days with me given the lack of feel with condone, however she was determined and took off the condon to give me a fantastic BBBJ which did the job. While she was a little larger than the girls I would normally go for, she was a star performer and her kisses were amazing. WIR, yes and I plan to.

So nights 4 & 5 were a pleasant surprise to both of us. There are gems to be had if you are prepared to look around and spend time in the bars. PP has been a good trip so for and the very low number of punters means the girls are keen to bar fine. Tomorrow we intend to hit a few bars on 118 and 104. More to come.

Happy Hunting.

The rates are all subjective and totally up to the girls. We have got short times at $70 USD and log times at $100 USD. Then we have also got $80 USD short time and some girls wanted $100 USD for short time. We are not locals so we attract a tourist hike but we are Ok with paying those rates. Others may not be. $15 is the bar fine but they will also ask for 5 drinks to take the girls out of the bar. We did not try to argue about that and maybe locals and regulars do not need to buy or pay for 5 drinks? There is not a lot of punters and most of the bars had no more than 3 to 4 customers, including us. Maybe we could negotiate less but we are on holidays and if the girls are good company and perform then we are happy to pay.

Happy Hunting.

Thanks, that's similar to my visit last March with the exception of a few ladies on 130/136 initially asking for 150.00. And didn't encounter the 5 drink minimum to BF ladies.

[Axiata]

If you don't mind can you provide the pricing for the BF and Lady and if it was LT or ST.

After a day of golf and sitting by the pool we decided to head out onto 130 and 136 to see what was on offer. Most of the bars had lots of girls sitting out the front and very few punters being visible. After a few walks up and down we settled on a bar called Fantstic. My wingman had been in contact with a girl from our last trip to PP and she was waiting for him in the bar. I remembered one of the girls from my last trip worked in that bar also, however I did not have her number and could not contact her. Unfortunately she was note working but my wingman's girl was. Fantastic had about 12 girls but aside from my wingman's girl none of them I considered worth a bar fine. What has crept into the bar scene is the requirement to buy the girls a minimum number of drinks (5) to take them from the bar. It basically means that the barfine is inflated by 5 drinks and is annoying. My wingman decided to barfine his girl and take her back to the hotel. I went out again to check out the other bars. After a few walks around 130 & 136 I decided to try 104. Airforce one was quiet and not many girls. One did catch my eye though and I gave her some drinks while playing pool. Decided to get her number for another night as I wanted to go back to The Factory to see the girl from last night. As expected she was happy to see me and my wallet! After a few games of pool and a few drinks we then went back to my hotel. The girl was again a strong performer with multiple positions on offer, DFK, DATY. She is a pleaser.

Day 3 was a slow day playing pool and then watching some sport by the swimming pool. We decided to try 130 & 136 as my wingman had been contacted by another girl at a bar called Xanadu. We walked along to check out a few bars and again noticed large number of girls but few punters. Xanadu was a disappointment in terms of the number and quality of girls but my wingman's girl was there and he has set. I decided to head out again to see what was on offer and was walking past Alaska Bar when a PYT caught my eye. Great face, nice body and pretty smile. Decided to head in and was surprised how many girls worked in the bar. The girl spoke a little English and we hit it off. After a few drinks I confirmed that she was keen to bar fine which made the night. Took her back to the hotel for a great session. Lots of DFK, DATY, BBBJ and great sex. Girl was a real performer and totally into her trade. Amazing body and such a pretty face. WIR, yes absolutely.

So the scene in PP is the same. A lot of girls and not many punters. Girls are average but there are gems if you keep hunting them you will find them. Just annoying thing about 5 drinks but I understand that without punters drinking they make no money if you take the girl out straight away. Not a huge issue for me as I enjoy being in the bars anyway.

Happy Hunting.

Back in PP after about 6 months. Really love the new airport and getting from there into PP was fairly quick and easy. Takes about 50 minutes depending on the time of day. Stayed at the Harmony Hotel as it is central to the action and has all the is needed. Nice size rooms and good breakfast.

First night we decided to try The Factory. Impressions were that the bar is nice and split over a couple of levels. A lot of pretty girls and the pool table is new and nice to play on. Very few punters but that was the case across street 104. My wingman and I grabbed a couple of fun girls with nice bodies and looks. Spent a few hours there and decided to bar fine them. Back in the room my girl did not disappoint. DFK, DATY and multiple positions and a fun girl to be with. Not super GFE or PSE so will think about whether I look at repeating. Nice body and well worth spending the time with though. After our session I walked to 130 and 136 and it was as I remembered the last time. Lots of girls and very few punters. Have to wonder how long the bars can survive without paying customers. Noticed and few bars that had some lookers and will try them out tomorrow night. So first night was fun with The Factory having the pick of the talent I seen.

Report more as the days go by.

Happy Hunting.

Visited PP on business trip and hit the bars for couple of nights. Lot of girls of various size, shapes and ages. I was bar hopping on street 130 and could not remember the name of the bar but the mamasan, elder lady, insisted I take the girl even before I completed the first drink. She was bit dark but had a great body. She was very enthusiastic and sat on me and grinded well while groped her. I obliged. Needless to say, it was a great session. Two shots for $70 and $10 barfine. I got her couple of lady drink but was charged $5 for each. Other bars charged $3. 5 - 5 for lady drink. Second night, I saved the hassle of bar hopping and had the same girl over. She stayed until I checked out and we had a good time. Same price but no bar fine or lady drink. On another note, I stayed at Tao and used grab for transport an food. Hassle free.

Some of my observations. Clear preference for lighter skin and Asian customers. I was not turned down by any one but also did not have girls swooning over me. I just went with girls who were interested in me rather than picking girls that are pretty but not giving any sign. I saw a lot of brown skin guys in PP compared to last time and most of them are from Bangladesh. I know this from dialect of Bengali they speak. Most of them seem like they are here for work in restaurants or petty jobs (quite a lot to be working in restaurant, trafficked?) and behaviour isn't exactly great but again they are lower level blue collar guys who could not find job in their country. Indians do have lot of bad reputation but that's sometimes because of boorish behaviour of lower level guys from entire Indian subcontinent. The situation for Indians is not as bad as Thailand but there is a definite preference. Anyways I had a good time in PP.

First of all I really appreciate all of the very kind advice. However looking at the photos and videos available online I get a strong impression of more fair skinned, large breasted, cute face sex workers in Bangkok compared to Phnom Penh. Also I have never tried a sex worker bar scene. I like something more quiet, discreet. Like a brothel in Colombia with no sign on the door. In Brazil I would highly recommend https://www.meupatrocinio.com/. In Phnom Penh it sounds like the girlie bars are about the only option.

So I think on the way to Phnom Penh I am going to stop over in Bangkok for a couple of weeks. I have been studying https://fiwfan.app/. I have noticed that a lot of girls are located in a place called Asia Resort Kaset Nawamin 24/46 Soi Jamjan, Kaset-Nawamin Road, Klongkum Bangkok 10230, Bang Kapi, Bangkok, Thailand, 10230. I want to check in there for a couple of weeks and if possible only meet girls in that hotel. If the photo doesn't match the girl I can just say no thanks, go back to my room down the hall and message another one. And I don't need a stable of 50 girls. If I can meet let's say three who I really like, that's perfect for me.

Then after that I will head for Phnom Penh where I intend to teach English and live for the foreseeable future. I'll see in person what's happening there. Then I can decide. If Bangkok is really a lot better I will not spend money in PP and instead save up my pennies and hop back to Bangkok a few times a year.

Thank you so much! However I just don't know if I can stomach the Phnom Penh red light district especially since most of my friends will be other English speaking expats living in PP. Don't shit where you eat as they say.

So I am thinking about this: A few times a year flying to Bangkok and look for love. It's a 75 minute $50 flight.

One big question which I have: Are Thai girls more beautiful than Khmer girls? Based on many internet photos and videos Thai sex workers seem to be on the average more Chinese or even European looking than Khmer girls. Which I personally like. Is that true?

Also I have heard some comments about some Thai sex workers rejecting foreign men. Is that true? Does it apply to white older men? (I'm white American 65 but could pass for a fit 55.)

Thailand sets at the crossroads of Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and Malaysia. Also throw in the Chinese. So if you like the look of Khmer girls you will find some of their cousins in Bangkok. And for every one girl who rejects you for whatever reason, there will be a dozen who will happily suck your cock. Good hunting!

[Sam Sanuk]

I posted this last year. I know all four of these girls having met each of them many times over the years. Which are Thai? Which are Khmer? Any Filipino?

I'll try to answer your concerns and requests for opinions with my own personal perspective (based on over 50 years of getting laid in Southeast Asia. Here goes.

If you are concerned about friends or associates knowing about your mongering activities, adjust your activities accordingly. For instance, don't bring women back to your abode if you think you will be labelled; don't hit the bars with those who are not similarly inclined.

The physical characteristics of women in Southeast Asia are remarkably similar. Remember, ethnicities are largely constructs of lines in the sand. Borders. Northern Thai girls more often have lighter skin, Thai girls from the Northeast are more dark on the average. Khmer girls and Northeast Thais are indistinguishable from each other. In fact, even Thais can have difficulty in identifying Filipinos from across a room. Last year, I posted a photo collage of four women I personally know. I asked the board if anybody could guess their nationality. Nobody was able to do so. It can be like guessing if a chick is from Dallas or Ft. Worth or Midland just by looking at them. LOL.

If a sex worker is in a tourist area, she isn't likely to turn down a monger solely because of his skin color. She is there to make money. Last year, at age 83, I easily rented a 19 year old from Soi Cowboy. I'm no longer an Adonis, and she was a slim, fit, reasonably cute 6.5/10. Sure, some may prefer Asian customers for various reasons.

You should remember that the main bar-girl streets are basically geared towards foreigners. Very few Khmer people (beyond those who work there as bar girls, food vendors, tuk-tuk drivers, etc) wander through those streets.
Enjoy PP.

This was my 3rd trip within a the span of 9 months, going to try to make Phnom Penh a quarterly visit destination for the foreseeable future.

AsiaAir from Dom Mueang to Techno International Airport. Tip: Make sure you retain your boarding pass, as Cambodian Immigration will ask for it upon your arrival.

Grab to town averages about 15.00. I used Grab, as the bus wasn't very reliable and doesn't run on the posted schedule.

Harmony Hotel on St. 148, Suite with Balcony Room. Definitely girlfriendly, but reception will collect girls ID card. Also, if you're book for a 2 occupant room you won't be charged a joiners fee. However, if you bring multiple girls to your room in a single day you may get charged 10.00 USD for the 2nd / 3rd visitor.

I like this hotel for it's location, comfortable beds and a better than average breakfast selection.

Posted short reports of my previous two trips. What shocked me this time. A few ladies on 136/130 were asking 150.00 USD for longtime / 80.00 for shorttime and wouldn't accept less. Yes, it could just be they didn't want to go with me (Asian). But my wingman (White American) was also quoted the same prices. On previous visits I've gotten 300.00 USD longtime request which quickly dropped to 100.00 USD (these left a bad taste in my mouth and I rejected them all even after the price drop, all except one that I just had to do). Don't flame me, I was drunk and horny and she was my perfect type. Obviously these are the Top 1% lookers in the early 20's age range that would actually go with customers.

Another observation, more of the girls you'd think were drink only girls were open to being barfined. So definitely ask the question. Safety Note: Ask, but be sure to verify their age.

Places to Eat. Highly recommend Metro and Sombak, but semi-highend places with great food at reasonable prices for what you get. Can not recommend the Hyatt Skybar, it's over priced and the view is just blah. Compas Riverside Mexican Food for their nachos and salsa, did take-home of this 3 of the 5 nights. Perfect midnite snack. Then there's the pizza truck / stall right across from Shanghi and Pontoon. Best pizza in Phnom Penh.

Oh, on this trip made it a point to visit Charlie Chan's. Was expecting higher prices. But that wasn't the case. 4 decent looking dancing girls on stage with 8-12 waiting for their turn on stage. Lot of the dancers looked very young, and didn't see any 9 or 10's there. Visited Shanghi on Sunday night, decent crowd and decent ladies. Then visited on Monday night. Place was dead. Both visits were after 11 pm. Visited Pontoon after around 1 am, place was packed and hopping (not my cup of tea, as I'm old) and selection was just average. Sorry, didn't see anything I liked. Thus no pricing info.

If you're a poker player, Naga Poker Room is pretty good for Asia. Good dealers and room boss. Generally, 1/3 dollar with 200.00 min / 500.00 max buy-in runs 24/7 and in the afternoon a 2/5 dollar table. While I was there 5/10 dollar PLO5 were hit and miss in the weekday evenings, but on weekends they started up in the early afternoon.

Ok, that's it.
