How much do you spend on a good night out in Phnom Penh?

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!

How much do you spend on a good night out in Phnom Penh?

Post by RickOrMorty »

here in Bangkok, i can spend the night at a gogo bar for 1,000-2,000 baht without going home with anybody but still call it a successful and good night. at the beer bars, if i spend that much, i expect someone to come home with me. at a club here, i'll spend 2,000-3,000 baht.

i feel like i usually spend a lot more in PP and get less out of it. in the sense that i feel like i will even spend $30 if i'm sitting out at a table at GSM people watching, and much more if i hang out at a beer bar all night.

if i let my hair down in Pattaya i can get through 12,000 in a night, but i can also have a good night on 4000 and a lot of fun with 6000
an average night out in PP for me will be between $1-200 and its not always guaranteed a good night, can be very hit and miss
i find Thailand a let better value for money and more entertaining regards to a night out (not including Bangkok though, BKK is a ripoff)

i did a price breakdown in this thread general-chatter/2018-why-not-choose-exp ... 98-20.html

Phnom Penh - $1 to $2
Phnom Penh Happy hour - $0.75
Pattaya bar - $1.25 (40baht)
Pattaya Agogo - $1.50 to $2 (45-69baht)

Bottled Beer:
Phnom Penh - $3.50 to $4
Pattaya - $2.25 to $3 (70-90 baht)
Pattaya Happy hour - $1.50 (50baht)

Spirits+mixer:
Phnom Penh - $3 to $4

Since this is a Cambodian forum (and I’m not good at Maths) - what’s that in dollars?
