As mentioned, night life has exploded. Way more people out and about every night. Locals go out more than ever, whereas they used to all be home by 8. The number of establishments and options has probably increased tenfold. As Kiwi said, the nightlife has simply changed. Way less for the guy who want to prowl, but way more to do or places to visit for everyone else. The days of Heart, Martini and all that are long gone.

This containerbar south of sihanouk is packed with asians even on weekdays and there are way more nice places now to just have a drink.
Bassac lane, Oskar, Mings.
Lots of rooftopbars for a drink with a view.
When sorya mall is finished it will also be like this containerbar and any change there can only be for the better.

The nightlife in Phnom Penh is thriving new clubs opening all the time, new container bar complexes, as mentioned a lot more locals are now going out and the nightlife is aimed at them, this is Cambodia,
i prefer to go to the KTVs n local clubs when i go out, if i want to go out and listen to western music id stay in England

Maybe you should try the new Love Club in BKK1, lots of westerners go there and bar girls on their day off to pretend to be a normal girl and find a young white guy, never been myself and probs never will, being surrounded by sweaty drunk westerners in a club is my vision of hell

I go out at night about once in 6 months.

If it died, I wouldn't make it for the funeral.

Sorry I just hate it when people say I must be getting old because I think the parties suck, when in fact the parties do suck, and it's not me getting old.
I'm actually much more of a party animal now that I'm not a teenager.
Who had a good time in PP last night without going to lady bars, which I don't do.
Please do share!
