The transformation of *Abacus Road* in Siem Reap

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 transformation of *Abacus Road* in Siem Reap

Post by mammothboy2 »

Turn along Route Six going out of town heading for the airport and Poipet; turn right immediately after Acleda Bank.

Some maps show this road as *Abacus Road* because the very posh de luxe Abacus restaurant is close to the road junction.

Continue past Neary Khmer and Bopha Taprom and very soon you are in a zone of open-air KTV joints with platoons of hostesses sitting patiently in the
entrances.

Some offer rooms for discreet assignations.

This development started slowly; there were one or two, then three or four and now it seems that a new one opens every month or so.

The bloke who built a building* which is now a clinic on this road, complete with an ambulance, paid $350/m2, so we can assume that this is
about the going rate for a building site on this road.

* He wanted to sell it some months ago for $220,000; it became a clinic quite recently.

I remember when a 4WD was needed to get to Abacus during the rainy season.....
