Re: Five dollar lady drinks?
True of many substances, Simon.
Nicotine is the most addictive. And any smoker will tell you they worked hard to get hooked as kids. The moral panic and misinformation is staggering. But when you've billions to spend on marketing any message. Its going to stick.
Post operative patients are often on synthetics many times more powerful than heroin. Yet they go home and never crave it.
Alcoholism is accepted as being in the person. Not the bottle. Addiction is the same animal. Alcoholism is drug addiction. Same same NOT different. the world has been sold a crock of shit to fit some arseholes control agenda.

Re: Five dollar lady drinks?
I've never smoked as much as I have since I've been here. In fact I'm thinking about having patches sent over here or at least switching to vaping.
Most people being given high strength pain relief by medical services (as my sister is at present) will be given a staged detox if they've been using them for a significant amount of time.

Re: Five dollar lady drinks?
yeah thats very true, ive got in to a habit of regularly checking my receipts whilst drinking, to check the pricesjah steu wrote:Phnom Penh hostess bars sell 'standard' ladydrinks for $3 - $4, with $3.50 currently being the most common price.
A standard ladydrink is Coke, Sprite or fruit juice, with 10-15ml of alcohol in it. By comparison a customer's drink has 50ml of alcohol in it.
A customer can also buy a girl a 'premium' ladydrink, if she requests it AND the customer agrees to it. This premium ladydrink will have a full 50ml of alcohol in it if it's a spirit drink and will usually cost the price of the same customer drink plus $1.
Or it may be say a bottle of Heineken when it will be the customer price plus $1.
Some customers want the girl to drink vodka, tequila, or B52 shots (50ml). Again these are usually customer price plus $1, so they cost $4-$5.
The important thing is that the girl must ask the customer if she can have a premium ladydrink, so he is aware of the extra cost involved. Or if it is the customer requesting that the girl drink a full strength drink, she should tell him that it costs more.
Unfortunately this process doesn't always happen in some hostess bars, understandably leading to customer dissatisfaction. The menus in many PP hostess bars are also not very clear on all this, often just saying 'ladydrinks $3.50' which can catch out the customer if the girl doesn't explain any extra costs for premium ladydrinks.

Good point Jamie mate. A decent vape would help. Anyone know if I can find one anywhere?Jamie_Lambo wrote:just out of interest did the vapor things get banned with the shisha pipes?Simon@Garage wrote:I've heard they're $40 for a weeks supply, granted, I haven't checked it myself.

E-cigarettes were banned early 2014. Prior to that I think there were several places selling them.
However, I did notice a tuk-tuk driver smoking one last weekend.
