Recent trip to Phnom Penh
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and wanted to share details of a few recent trips under the relevant country listings. Was in Phnom Penh for 3 days. Stayed at the Amanjaya Pancam on Sisowath Quay. A suitably guest friendly hotel (I had checked before booking, and when I checked in, I was again informed that you need to register your guest but since I had paid for double occupancy, no further charges).
Sisowath seems to be the place to stay in. It seems to be the tourist hub and runs along the river. Lots of hotels along the road overlooking the river, lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. So good place to stay. On my first night, I checked out some of the bars along 104th street, 110th street etc. Everywhere in town seems to be a US $2 or 3 tuk tuk ride away. I guess I was a little early. Around 11 pm and there were no customers and the girls were all sitting around outside. Didn't care to be the only one in a bar, so I got myself a foot massage to pass the time. I was lead up to a room and lay down on a mattress and the lady helpfully suggested I take off my pants. To facilitate the foot massage! Declined as I didn't really care for the surroundings.
A little past 12, I made my way to Pontoon. The place was reasonably full. Some attractive women (some of them seemed to be with boyfriends etc, so tread carefully). I was beginning to get tired, so didn't want to hang around too long. Met an attractive short Cambodian girl, agreed to USD50 for LT and headed back to the hotel. Turned out to be not too great a choice. Pretty lazy in bed. After I was done, I realized I really didn't want her hanging around and preferred to be alone. So packed her off.
Had some work the next day, with a little bit of sightseeing (the obligatory genocide museum visit. Pretty grim place) and a spa visit thrown in (Bodhi spa. Quite expensive for PP. Didn't think it was worth it). At night, I made my way to Darling Darling at Naga word as I wanted to see what PP has to offer at the other end of the spectrum. Nice place, though not too big I thought. Lots of attractive women and in greater numbers than at Pontoon. A few of them hang out in the bar itself, while many more were seated outside in a lounge type of area. Which was a bit odd as you wouldn't really want to walk up to anyone there as they were all silently engrossed in their phones with no customers in sight. You would have thought they would come inside the bar area and put themselves out there if they were interested in transacting.
Anyway, I chatted up this very attactive Cambodian girl. Agreed terms. USD100 for ST! I thought it was a bit stiff given rates elsewhere in the city but that seems to be the prevailing rate at this establishment. We headed back to the hotel. Had a far better time than the previous night (I guess you get what you pay for). Darling Darling seems to be a more downmarket version of Brix in Singapore. I like the place, though expensive by PP standards.
Darling Darling Price Range LT
Hi Natty,
If these girls are able to fetch 100 US for short time, how much would they want for LT? Are these prices.
Negotiable?
