Phnom Penh

The description doesnt really fit otherwise you would have heard about it before. The bar with dancing that starts with P that bit fits.

Pontoon is a floating bar at the end of street 108 it does have dancing and music and there is the odd freelancer there. Not a place I would go to find girls though.

As for L Imprevu it is 7km past the Monivong bridge on route 1 the highway to Vietnam. There is nothing around it but a few other swimming type resorts and beer gardens. In total it is about 11km out of town on a really bad and busy road so it takes quite a long time to get there.

So the guy at Sharky was talking crap, then, eh?

Sounds like L'Imprevu isn't a place for me. That's really far.

[QUOTE=Shadow6491]It may be Pontoon.[/QUOTE]

That sounds like the place. He did invite me to go with him last week, but I had other plans. He seem to be firm on his statement the place can fill up with girls on weekends. Just to look for something new, I will take a peak there this coming Saturday and see if it's worth his hype.

Thanks
TC.

I agree it may fill up with girls (and guys) dancing, but freelancers looking for barang customers is not its main stay.

You could say that DarkRoom, Orange Club or Riverside Lounge are the same. Yes they have hostess girls that go there after work and some freelancers but the girls go there to have fun on their days off or with friends to pick up Khmer boyfriends.

I have been to these places with hostess bar girls when one of them is having a birthday party or similar.

At all of the above places it is possible to find working girls just dont assume that they are all working.

I tried to send a private message to you. It did not go through. Turn on your private messaging. Anyway, I would like to know more about Kien Svay. Also what do you know about Kampot.

Promogade 2?

WTF.

Over two years in PP and I've never heard of it.

Pontoon does have freelancers always but not big numbers.

However with the recent crackdown freelancers have appeared at the gym bar and reggae bar so who knows now.

Limprevu is not far but a **** of a place to get too and why would you stay out there.

French proprieter killed by his securirty guard with a matchete a few years ago! Gurad was probably bored I would be.

Pontoon and riverhouse full of trendy rich khmers, if one is not a local could be dangerous talking to girls there-boyfriends may be tooled up.

Some call RH pistol whipping central.

Few months ago khmer rich thug produced an UZi there, US special forces guy there him down the stairs-get the picture?

So don t go there the week end. It was also never a place like km11, never. Also english speaking was virtualy non existent. And the restaurant had the reputation to badly overcharge barang. Like surchage for plate, surcharge for tissue. They have a lot of imagination. But the place is very nice and relaxing

Kien svay girls was all khmer, no viet. And girls was very shy with barang

All and all I you re not a long term resident don t go there alone. Go with khmer friend to avoid problems

L'imprevu is wasting time excepted if you go with your family. Ever if in the past people had pretended it was a brothel place.

After weeks of hearing nothing but bad news from Phnom Penh I changed my travel plans. Seems I have accumulated a lot of Marriott reward points (thank you Amsterdam) and when I applied these points to the already discounted rates offered, my out of pocket cost for staying at the Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa comes to less than $50/day for 11 days. Total. So I will taxi down to Pattaya, spend 5 days at the Spa, then rent a car & drive over the Ko Chang for 3 days, then return to Pattaya for 6 days before taxing back to BKK. It looks like it's going to be a fuck fest!

[QUOTE=Natty Bumpo]staying at the Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa .. It looks like it's going to be a fuck fest![/QUOTE]I realize that pretty much every hotel is GF in Pattaya - but the Marriotts and Sheratons in SE Asia generally are not. Assume you've checked with other mongerers?

[QUOTE=RonnieMonger]I realize that pretty much every hotel is GF in Pattaya. But the Marriotts and Sheratons in SE Asia generally are not. Assume you've checked with other mongerers? [/QUOTE]First I have to say how sad it is that we are talking about girl friendly hotels in Pattaya on the Phnom Penh thread. I hope PP comes back to life. I really enjoyed my time there. The girls treated me right.

Now to the question you raised.. Yes I have assiduously read through the Pattaya thread and the Marriott is always placed in the girl friendly column (no joiner fees). Some sample reports:

From Bonzo1

"The Marriott was excellent, and so I'm going to vote there."

From Ranger775

"First off, a quick update. On my last trip to Pattaya, I stayed at the Marriott and can confirm they have no problem with guests. In fact, because I had a repeat guest on consecutive nights, the security guard/front desk let her up to my room w/o having to give id. In addition, the hotel has a great breakfast, good clean room, expensive internet, ok bathroom, and the balcony was nice too. Location was perfect as it is in the middle of everything yet with all the trees around it, it does have secluded feeling".

There is a great list of GF & non GF (joiner fee) Pattaya hotels in the thread. Use the search engine to find it.

The reason why I chose the Marriott was 1. GF (a necessity), 2. Nice grounds/pool area to relax in. 3. Location Location Location, and 4. I got a sweet deal using my Marriott reward points. There are lots of other options in town.

As to the question of other SE Asia GF hotels; I believe the Bangkok Marriott if GF too, but I can't be certain. I stayed there for one night but did not bring any guests back with me. Marriott Cebu is GF and also Manila Renaissance. I believe the Westin BKK is also GF.

My trip to Pattaya is my backup trip. I originally planned on going to Phnom Penh and then checking out Kampot and Kep for a few days. Instead I will check out Ko Chang. I have never been to Ko Chang. I know they have some bars so there must be something going on. It is Thailand for God's sake. I will make a report on what I find in the appropriate threads when I return.

Again, I wish the girls of Cambodia all my love and hope everything gets back to normal as soon as possible.

Sharaton I can't say, and about Marriotts.
I know Marriott in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and the Renaissance in Kuala Lumpur which belongs also to the Mariott group.
All absolutely girlfriendly.

Greetings!
