  • Nightlife, Bars, Girls, Ladyboys in Siem Reap

    One may not believe that what I have put together for this chapter is “out and about during the night-time”. On the one hand, I was only in the town for a short time, on the other, there is nightlife, but by far nothing like the nightlife of Phnom Penh, for example, here are a few tips and addresses that I had checked out myself:

    The TAPHUL ROAD is a “brothel street” if you could call it that, this is where one is able to find quite a few massage parlours and smaller knocking shops. One should watch out for the signs “massage”, they are all more or less disguised. I had quite a few nice short times there for 15 US dollars a time, mainly with Vietnamese girls. Low budget, that’s Cambodia. One should not expect much more than a room with a bed with used sheets and a small shower.

    The first evening I drove up to the place with my driver, girls came pouring out, some of them were even quite good lookers, and of course the Mamasan. Sure enough, she started a conversation with my driver, even though I made it obvious that I wanted her to speak to me. I was trying to avoid having to pay extra for a commission for the driver, just because he happened to be there. However, it was pointless. Prices of around 60 US dollars were being talked about, ok, then we will forget about that place. I made a point of coming back to the place later on, but on my own of course, this I did. So, bobs your uncle, suddenly the prices were quite normal again. I had the experience of seeing an Ami chuffed to fuck because he had “only” paid 50 US dollars for a bout of short time (she was good looking though). I disappeared quickly, it is no use trying to haggle the price down with such idiot present at the same time Us experienced sex-tourists are not having any of that, it’s bad enough that with our 10 to 15 dollars we still pay two to three times as much for a shag as the locals.

    The street is easy to find, and I really do recommend that one pay a visit without taking a driver along. When coming from “Angkor Saphire”, cross the bridge, straight across the roundabout, now you’re on the national road number six. Then you will arrive at a crossroads, on the left had side on the corner is a large bank with a cash machine, on the right is the “Royal Independence Garden”. Just carry straight on, turn off into the next road on the left, and there you are. You will find a town map (scalable) here.

    Siem Reap town plan

    As I said, there are quite a number of massage parlours down there; I didn’t have all that much time to try many of them out though.

    More addresses for the night:

    Martini Pub Restaurant
    N° 48, Street 95, corner Street 350

    Yep, there is a disco with this name there, not just in Phnom Penh. I would say that it is quite a good “hunting ground”, even though it cannot quite keep up with Phnom Penh’s best offers. Just give it a try, all taxi drivers know of the place. I have found what I wanted there quite a few times up to now, even a nice Ladyboy. Yeah, I must admit… Was nice, sympathetic, but did a blowjob like my granny. Nevertheless, I had a “Gathoey” (Thai for Ladyboy); such a female like one is not awaited here.

    Zone One Club
    Phsar Nhe, Taphul Village
    Svay Dangkum Commune

    Lots of freelancers, but as down the Martini, not only. What I mean is that the “completely normal” village kids party here at the weekend and after knocking off work, those who can afford it anyway… Good for a few bevies and the music is mainly better that down the Martini where sometimes they play local music including the dances that go with it (dancing in a circle holding hands etc. By the way, the place is also down the so called “brothel street”.

    Zanzybar Pub
    Opposite Bakheng Hotel, near the Night Market

    Yes, right next to the night market or „Old Market“ as it is known (see below). This is one of the places one can go to when other places have closed for the night; it even stays open until the early hours of the morning. Lots of girls also hang around here, either those who have earned a lot of cash and want to spend it, or those who have earned very little and would like to earn some more. Well, what can you say about that. Sometimes went there with my “beauty of the night” or have manage to pull one there, now and again it was the other way round, they pulled me. Once I bought the last bottle of vodka, some ice and a litre and a half of orange juice because my hotel fridge was bare. There is nothing more boring than throwing a small party with nothing to drink… The large photo above was taken there as well.

    The

    Old Market

    Is mentioned, no use providing an address because it is an address in itself. A small quarter of the town, or should I say rather a square with many western style restaurants. There is live music, Cordon Bleue with chips, cocktails, a fresh draught Guinness, and everything that a temple tourist wishes to round off a successful sightseeing trip. Of course, there are no whores. And apart from the night market, there is all sorts of Khmer junk being sold, food as well, all in all just the normal stuff one would expect to find: Tours for tourists, gems probably of dubious quality, fashion jewellery for the ladies, music CDs etc etc. A few westerners chance visiting the restaurants frequented by the natives, probably those who spend the rest of their holidays in their hotel with a bout of “Montezuma’s Revenge”…

    Still worth taking a look at!

    I visited one of the small filthy bars that still happened to be there:

    Blue Wave Club
    N° 239, Achamean Street, Behind Hotel De la Paix

    Easy to find, if one turns off to the left at the large crossroads where the bank is, then the next on the right, one will find it after a few metres on the left hand side of the street. My driver took me down there; it was pissing it down with rain. Of course, the driver had to wait outside, because where will we end up if we take our drivers with us into the knocking shops… He wouldn’t have come with me for all the money in the world anyway: Still, he had to look after his motorbike, nobody in Cambodia leaves them unattended.

    So I went in, dim atmosphere, thick curtains, booths, a well sorted bar and two well dressed barkeepers. So far, it had everything I had expected from a nice bar, that’s if there had been a good choice of appealing girls. There were exactly three, two of them were occupied with holding each other’s hands, the third one was a bit older. Oh well! I thought, now that I am here… And bought a few round of drinks, of course a few more than normal, I wanted information about the bar instead of trying it out with these ladies. So, the price of drinks is moderate, and there are rooms just behind the thick curtains. The girls wanted 30 bucks for a bout of short time, I did without because I had not intended trying to haggle the prices down. After some time, I left the place to visit somewhere else with a better choice of fanny.

    Ergo: Boring that day, but there was nothing against trying the place another day, particularly since I had been told that there were more girls available on other days.

    Here an assortment of pictures of all this (sorry, a few of the pics taken outside have been marked by water, it had been pissing it down all day).

    And to finish of with, a few private pics of „my“ Ladyboy. Yes I am so baaaaad!!!
