Freelancer Places in Phnom Penh 2016

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

The Snooky chicken farm was always a good place to go for a drink, what was that house number at the far end? Roddie lived there for a while when he was really broke.
I am amazed that it has survived the port development, the dirt road is right next to the fence isnt it?
It's all relative though. In the late seventies (1978), the AUD would buy around 18 baht.
That would make the 50 baht girl not as cheap as she sounds.

Now, the 3000 - 4000 riel girls on the road past the French embassy circa 2000, relatively speaking could be considered cheap.

4000 riel is only 1 us dollar correct ? yea i would say that is cheap. So do you mean you can get it for that at this time today and where is this French embassy circa 2000 ? you are talking about somewhere in Phnom Penh? You would not get any English speaking girl for that would you ?

I'm new here folks - but not new to forums about this kind of stuff

hasn't this thread totally deteriorated?- I mean, who gives a FF what prices were all in another place and time?

I'm also new to PP - can someone please post something useful about the current scene?

I heard FLers could be found around 130 or 136/19 ...that's all I know, cheers
