[QUOTE=WintersLight;2892963] . . . the infamous Cyrcee's Secret Bar on 130[/QUOTE]Just to clarify, the place on 130 was the second and final location of Cyrcee. The French-Algerian guy sold it and it has reopened under the new owner, a Khmer I think. New name, which I don't remember. Only has a few girls at present. "Sona Secret Horny Bar", which occupies the original location of Cyrcee on St. 49, has a bigger and better selection. But forget the rooms upstairs. Unless they were holding out on me there's no bed, just a really uncomfortable little wooden sofa. Better to walk over to Happiness GH, the place they normally use, and pay a few bucks for a decent room.

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2893382]If you're worrying over $20 perhaps you should give up hookers and try masturbation.[/QUOTE]If you think you look better than others by paying double or more than what the local guys pay, then that's up to you. I rather pay a fee closer to what locals pay and save my money. What is the point of paying for expensive flights and then end up paying what you pay in Europe? Western Europe that is. It makes no sense at all.

Its also seems like PP barscene is not that popular and still they are having a high pricing strategy. Not enough people comes but yes, lets keep the prices high for the few that does come.

Personally, in the interaction between male and female for purchasing pussy, I find it distasteful to nickel and dime over a few dollars because I think the locals payless. I don't think it's good for the interaction between the parties when it all starts off with the dude telling the girl sweetie you're not worth the extra five bucks.

And folks wonder why gentleman from India are looked down upon by the bar girls in Bangkok. I'm sure the cheap Charlie's get some eye rolls in Phnom too.

P.S. in my social circle, girls in Europe aren't $50. If you're really interested in cheap fun, try Gary Indiana.

Does not have to be exactly what the local guys pay but we can not go in to an amount of money that is DOUBLE or more than what the local guys pay. Thats overpricing tourists. And it does not really seem to be a model that is working good for anyone. We are not talking about "five bucks" as you write. We are talking about DOUBLE the money, ok?

Indian guys make the same money as people in Thailand, if they are to travel to Thailand then why should they pay so much more?

When on this webpage we see ads for what it cost in Europe. What is the point for many guys to pay expensive flights and long vacations to then pay almost the same? It makes no sense. And it does not really work out well for anyone in the end.

But if you have a ton of money and want to spend big, then go ahead. To me it does not matter. I don't feel more prestigous just because I pay a girl in PP 50 dollars when she would go with a local for 20 dollars. And paying 50 dollars does nto break my bankaccount.

I recall in a brothel in Singapore the papasan even told me that they charge less for Singapore locals (he didn't give any reasons why). In Latin America, there is the so called 'gringo price' that tourists pay. Not fair but that's the way it's done at many foreign places and they see us tourists still paying premium so they will continue to charge us more.

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2893492]Pizza Pala Romana at Asoke MRT.[/QUOTE]One of my all-time favs! Grab a slice or two and go. Panetti at Emsphere (by Peppina) is also great, and they even have a vegan pizza!

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2893492]Pizza Pala Romana at Asoke MRT.[/QUOTE]This pizzeria restaurant, situated in the most unlikely of locations, used to be great, but the last time I went there in June 2019 (pre covid) they had cut back on the herbs and their pizza had a lot less flavor. IMHO. I hope their pizzas have gotten better since covid, but I doubt it. Has anything gotten better in LOS since covid?

Haven't eaten the pizza in a month, but to me it's the same as it's always been, which is excellent. The best is when you get there at closing time and there's still some of their rustic potato pizzas left and you can grab a few slices to take home.

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2894142]Everything has gotten better everywhere since covid. [/QUOTE]Really? OK, please enlighten me because I really want to know. Specifically, since 2018/2019, what has gotten better, in your humble opinion? 1) Phnom hostess bars?, 2) BKK and Pattaya Go Go's?, 3) Soi 6?, 4) Sukhumvit olies? 5) BKK soapies? The overall SW scene (who cares)? What has gotten better?

If not, how would you judge whatever specific I won't give you because I don't jump if someone says how high or asks silly question.

It was a straightforward honest question. I am sorry you took it the wrong way. But maybe your harsh response to me is the answer: things have not gotten better since I was last in SE Asia in June 2019, it has gotten worse. Thank you for your reply.

Just wondering.

Just 2 guys with a different opinion about a pizza place that may or may not be due to a difference in time and most likely a case of a misread question or misunderstanding of intent. No big deal. But the question arises, if you really thought this was a pissing content, why would you want to get in the middle of it? You might get wet.
