Need some info on possibly illegal brothel/human trafficking in Phnom Penh

Post by superferret »

There's this "guesthouse" on street 172 called Heng Srey Pich right next to the party area a minute walk from pontoon. Several years ago out of curiosity on a drunken party night I accepted the invitation to go in
and see the "vietnamese girls". It's a very small place and they took me to a hidden room where they sat me down on a tiny chair and brought in a line-up of about 20-25
vietnamese women and told me to choose one. I politely thanked them and left, and didn't even remember much after, considering my state of inebriation on that night.
However, the incident haunted me ever since.
About a year ago, I noticed this place is still open very late at night and always seems to have a guard sitting outside. Such a small guesthouse would never have a guard this late at night. They keep an extremely low profile and I've never seen any women or anyone for that matter going in and out.
On one or two occasions, I attempted to get in again, asking for the girls. They flatly denied there are girls and told me to piss off.
I reported the place to some organizations dealing with human trafficking and got absolutely no response.
I just walked by and again, at 5 am on a monday night, the place is open and there are people sitting silently in the lobby. This place is definitely not a guesthouse.
Any of you tough guys here up for a bit of investigative work to possibly rescue these women, and possibly underage girls ?
I can't go back because they would recognize me and I could be in serious danger, but if an unknown person goes with a moto driver they probably would not suspect anything.
Let me know if you have any info on this place.

That's very noble. However, you seem to have no proof of anything... even if the girls want or need to be 'rescued'. If you start making waves, you may find out the place is owned by a general or someone in the police... and end up in a ditch... dead.
:shock:
You could be next.

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

Are you suggesting some sort of raid, taking the women by force?
You could recruit local retired special forces and CIA ops to assist. Sort of like an The Expendables movie

He’ll find plenty of recruits for his A-team easily enough in GSM & other dive bars of PP, but if he wants the cream of the crop he’d be better off recruiting in Pattaya & Bangkok.
