Phnom Penh Nightlife 2018 - Anyone Still Awake ?

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!

Why not? Is there something wrong with you? (Not that there's anything wrong with that except that it's wrong). Why else would anyone be on a Cambodia expats interwebz forum?

....filming an awful lot of people without their consent.
Yep;
if ur in a public place you have no legal rights to privacy>>>and as long as the film is not used for advertising or promotional purposes, no signed release needed.
But I do remember this: Photography is forbidden inside bars and other venues in red light districts including Patpong and Cowboy."
when ur INSIDE a place, ( be it a bar, a restaurant a hotel lounge) ur no longer in Public and it is clearly posted, ( at least in every gogo i have visited), photography forbidden.
Yet u still see some photos of gogo girls on the net.
I don't agree. Most people filmed are sitting on the premises, in front of a bar, that's no public space. The street is public space, the area in front of a bar is not, just like the inside of a bar.

Besides, filming over a 100 people without them knowing, and then publishing it under the alias 'Thailand Red' is far from 'chique' don't you think? I am pretty sure quite some girls featured in these 'movies' are far from happy with it.

It's not exactly secret either. They are sitting there to attract customers. The whole point of them being there is to make them visible to the public.

How about the tourist videos from Angkor Wat? I'm not very happy about CCTV either but there's little I can do besides masking myself. Is there any bar in the filmed areas that does not have CCTV? Hell, Taco Bill couldn't even glass a hoe without being voice recorded and the mp3 posted on Soundcloud.

If people shoot videos in the Angkor Wat I assume they don't want to record crowds visiting, or visitors sitting around having coffee, but the temples. So a strange comparison I think.

If there's a CCTV system somewhere it should be announced, and you can leave if you want, or sit outside on the premises if there's no CCTV there. These people could not leave, because he secretly filmed them. Another difference between this recording and CCTV is CCTV recordings don't end up on YouTube.

Those scenes are pretty rough.
One or two attractive girls among them, but most of them have an obvious air of coming from the lower rungs, with poor posture/poise and bad attitudes.

They could have left if being filmed bothered them. It seems it bothers you more than them.

CCTV material from those bars gets posted on social media anytime someone is accused of doing something wrong. In other words, they post the footage as they please. See the various groups on Facebook where people are accused of eating bills and stuff, often with very little evidence showing the actual event. Nobody ever complains about privacy issues.

Those same girls have no problem flipping out their smartphones and live streaming members of the public on their Facebook profiles or Skype calls with their boyfriends.

Looking at the videos I think most people were not aware he was recording.

And about Facebook, you might be true. I don't use it.

ie; reason i said he was filming form waist height, probably with a hand held gopro camera so he didn't need to aim/focus.

Either this guy is being quite obvious with his "concealed" camera, or he's quite unattractive in some way.
Almost every scene ends with the stink-eye-of-disgust from one of the subjects.
Although their horses don't look very high to me, despite what they appear to think.

I've been around those scenarios and for years (living/ working/ out and about), so I've seen how these areas work and how the women roll in in the late afternoon and start munching on snacks, gossiping, checking out clothes from wandering Indian hawkers etc. I'm not out at 3AM so often though which is when these were shot. Some of the scenes are a bit unflattering to the subjects, and I have to agree isn't fair to film people without their knowledge. However it's still a very good documentary. It humanizes the people, rather than just showing them throwing their pitches or poses. I liked it a lot.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
