Not an ideal bar to have a few beers at.
Suddenly (in picture 7) it has not only moved,but changed colour too,
Just sayin'....

This was a road of Khmer shophouses only about 6 months ago. Now it looks like they have set up a new red-light district.

The competent authorities are obviously being well paid, because I have never seen such blatant prostitution in Cambodia before. After about 11pm, driving along the road from Ekareach St, just after the school, you can see the ground floors wide open and lit up in red, with rows of girls standing there, ready for inspection. There is no attempt at pretending that these places are massage joints or KTV or anything else.

LOL. Sihanoukville police got all het up about flyers advertising Chinese sexy girl massages, but you have the real thing on one of the main roads open for all to see, and this seems to be ok with the authorities.I guess the locals aren't complaining, because either they are making a buck, or they are scared of being evicted. Most of the road seems to be inhabited by Chinese anyway.

I've got nothing against brothels myself, but the double standards are blatant. Khmers get busted for massage parlors who give extras, yet the Chinese move in and set up brothels. Just like the locals are getting busted for playing cards and lotto, while the Chinese casinos are kidnapping and extorting their customers. As a foreigner, I don't get a say in what goes on, but if I was a local, I would think that the authorities are really taking the piss.
I'm not sure if the red-light places accept non-Chinese customers, but I wouldn't think so. Perhaps someone else can do some on the ground research ? It's not really my thing.
