Siem Reap

[QUOTE=The Wookie; 1437244]Hi all,

I'm planning my virgin trip to Cambodia. I have about 4 days there before going back to Thailand so I and plan to do PP one day, (taking Air Asia from DM) , then SR for 2 days to see Angkor what and then the last day / night back in PP.

A couple of questions which I couldn't find on the forum, or maybe missed them;

- Is the road between PP to SR really that bad or is it smooth freeway. In other words, would I get there much faster if I hired a car instead of a public bus?

- Or is it better to fly from PP to SR and how much would that cost?

- Is Cambodia cheaper than Thailand for buying Anti-Biotics, Viagra, Cialis and all that stuff? Easy to get?

- Any recommendations for good places to stay with indoor safe and wifi in PP and SR?

- Where are the latest P4P hotspots? Any recommendations?

Thank you and hope to do a nice TR once back.

Wookie.[/QUOTE]Road between PP to SR really that bad. It is not fully paved yet and is bumpy at places. Renting a car would not be a better option. Instead of the bus, take the 10-14 people min van which is quicker and still around USD 10. 00. I flew back from Snooky to Siem Reap, a longer distance and it cost me USD 118. 00. The flight was about 45 minutes. Hence cost may be a little less and about the same time or a bit less.

Is Cambodia cheaper than Thailand for buying Anti-Biotics, Viagra, Cialis and all that stuff?. I bought the Indian import Viagra in Snooky and 4 pills cost be USD 8. 00 at a pharmacy. Quite easy to get.

The rest of your questions are already answered in the posts for Siem Reap and PP. Siem Riep is not really a monger destination but enough freelancers around Pub street and other bars.

Have fun.

Have fun.[/QUOTE]When you get to your first destination, contact a travel agent. They will tell you the cost of flights and the days / time the planes fly. They can also arrange for hotel pickup if you decide to use the mini van. It takes about 5 1/2 hours by minivan.

The flight from Snookie and Siem Reap is about double the distance from SR and PP. Hence the flight may be cheaper than USD 118. 00.

[QUOTE=LifeIsABeach;1437989]Siem Riep is not really a monger destination but enough freelancers around Pub street and other bars.[/QUOTE]Don't rely on common suggestions like Pub street or "other bars". Or you'll be frustrated. Pub street is just a sex scam place and bars like Micky's bar is full of old garbage lads and drunk barangs. And damn ladyboys! Read my previous post.

Good luck!

Wookie.[/QUOTE]If I read that you plan to go back to Thailand after arriving in Cambodia I would recomment the following route:

Guess you arrive in PP by air, stay there 1, 5 days / 2 nights and take (early morning 7 AM) the boat to Seam Reap.

You will arrive around 2 PM in Seam Reap.

After 1, 5 (or 2, 5) day in SR you can take a people carrier (for 10 or 15 USD) to Bangkok (or to Pattaya).

The trip to BKK takes around 7 hours (including 1 hour border passing by Pol Pet border crossing which seems the most efficient). There are several departures per day between 6 PM and 1 PM (if my memory is correct).

The trip over water will cost 35 USD and beside travelling by air this is the fastest way of transport between PP and SR (and no bad road and / or traffic jams).

Their are many travel agents / offices and you can buy the tickets till 1 day before your departure. Mostly it includes (tuc tuc) transport from tour your hotel to the starting point of the trip.

Hope that others can help you with your other questions.

Wookie.[/QUOTE]I forgot some points:

If you have time stay in Phnom Pehn for some days longer. If you are interested in you could visit the killing fields and the prission (I believe called S39) in the middle of PP. A nice balance with mongering activities.

In Seam Reap you can easily spend 3 days for visiting the ancient park. There are several routes and If you frequently leave your tuc tuc you can see a lot. Seam Reap evening live is less than in SR.

For PP try the landscape hotel, equivalent to 4 star in other countries for around 50 USD (its on the boulevard and gf).

For SR try the Tara Angor hotel a little out of town, simulair to PP and if you are lucky try the inhouse massage parlor and If you are lucky you can get a HJ. The girl was fantastic (for 10 USD) but she didn't want to come to my room.

Hope you enjoy and in general Cambodia is cheaper then Thailand.

[quote=askeaske;1437024]first, thank you for your reports. i will read them again, before my next trip to cambodia. i am a newbie, but i did not want to go to thailand. i been in thailand many time, but on family holiday, with only small mongering (massage with "happy ending" etc). so after my divorce i wanted to go for a "new area". cambodia was an amazing experience. for my next trip to september i go to vietnam and then to combodia.[/quote]i'm glad you had a good time and i hope my reports proved useful. cambodia is a useful alternative to thailand, especially phnom penh which has lots of pretty girls available for cheap prices. i have only been to vietnam as a tourist but it is somewhere on my radar too. please post a field report with your findings. another place you might like to consider is indonesia. it's a great country with lots to do and i'd rate jakarta as one of the most exciting pay-for-play cities in the world. there are some very pretty girls and it's very cheap too.

[quote=vitold;1437906]another place is a real take out big brothel here: 13. 367900, 103. 842217 damage is 60 usd per one and a half hrs excluding road to hotel and back (for a girl, of course, not for you. go there around 7 pm or later. there are 30-40, yes thirty or forty girls available for any taste. note there are no rooms at the brothel.[/quote]nice field report, nice to see some pics too. the girl in the yellow was a good find. sounds like the place you're describing is top town (i tried typing in those co-ordinates but it didn't work). it's down a dust track off airport road. either that or sok san palace which is some distance down sivatha road, left after a big hotel with speed bumps outside it.

so far i've decided on minibus / minivan for $10 and 6/5. 5 hours of traveling by road.

by boat will take 7 hours according to above stated (start 7am. arrive 2 pm) and i've also read it depends on the tide and number of passengers.

i will fly from don muang to pp and stay there for one night, then the following day go to siem reap.

stay in sr for 2 nights (i'll have at least one full day for angkor what) and go back to pp and stay there one night because i've already booked a plane ride back to don muang from pp. (in retrospect, i should have travelled back to thailand straight form sr)

i've also tried vitold's coordinates but they don't seem to work. the quality of the girls in the pics looks great though. if it is top town and sok san palace like sirlancelot mentions, well worth a visit, although i thought these places were also touristy and the prices a little high for cambodia? i mean i hear people quoting $15-$20 from free lancers. also to get there one might get scammed by moto or tuk tuk driver?

is hiring your own bike as easy in cambo as it is in pattaya or is it just not safe to drive in cambo?

for hotels so far i've narrowed it down to blue tongue in pp and jasmin villa garden in sr although i'm not sure about the guest friendly policy over there.

other options are :

siem reap.

don't need a palace but don't want a dump either so i think i should be fine for $20 per night?

thanks again

p. s. actually, the girl in pink is one and a half meter stunner and much more kawai than other one. sorry for poor photo.

[QUOTE=The Wookie;1438869]I've also tried Vitold's coordinates but they don't seem to work.[/QUOTE]He intentional left one blank space btn the numbers; they do work.

[QUOTE=Traveler1234;1438918]He intentional left one blank space btn the numbers; they do work.[/QUOTE]So what are the complete coordinates?

And do they lead to Top Town or is this another venue?

The quality of the girls in the pics looks great though.

Is hiring your own bike as easy in Cambo as it is in Pattaya or is it just not safe to drive in Cambo?[/QUOTE]Wookie, You can get freelancers for $15-20 USD. The prices paid by Lancelot and Vitold are on the high side. $50. $60 USD is just way too much for Cambodia. Once you ask a a tuk tuk to find you to a chicken farm or a brothel or a KTV bar, you are going to be paying his commission, which is calculated in the girl's price. Total waste of money. The service is not any better if you pay more. I paid $20. 00 to a girl in SR for a full oil massage and full sex also daily.

Hence use tuk tuks to take you from point A to B. They are cheap. Maybe a dollar or two for the journey. As you are in Cambodia for a very short time, why waste time looking for a bike rental place and figuring out how to get to your destination. You can also get a bike rider to take you to your destination. Sit on the back and enjoy the ride. I enjoyed that transportation method.

In PP, try staying on or close to street 51 as there is enough pussy to keep you occupied for a long time. On your next longer vacation, you can try out the other areas too.

I agree with $50-$60 being way too much, even for Thailand but it depends on the quality of the girl though. Probably once I get there all my plans will go out the window anyway.

In Phnom Penh I would stay near walkabout / Pontoon.

That area is flooded with freelancers.

You are guys right actually. There is no difference in girl's age, attitude or charm for 20 or 60 bucks. It's your own luck. Or laziness, or fear. Just want to point SR is not sex empty place as some told here before. And don't visit Pub street for mongering. It's a total bullshit!

[QUOTE=PussyFeelsGood; 1439414]In Phnom Penh I would stay near walkabout / Pontoon.

Pontoon has so many pretty girls.
