Pontoon opinion

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Thuggish disco really sucks

I've been to this place about 20-30 times, the only reason is there's not that many choices late night and I lived in
PP for 3 years. This place is thuggish and the music absolutely sucks.
There's so many mean looking security guards watching every move it's ridiculous. On a Thursday night there were about 20 people dancing and 4 mean looking security guards standing on the side watching them dance. One of the guys was walking around like a complete clutz acting like some boot camp intructor in the middle of the place. So unprofessional. So rude.
Very hard to find a place to sit down because half the tables are marked as reserved despite being completely empty.

They have some sort of a class system going, rich khmers get these tables if they buy bottles, so you see some bored to death looking 40+ year old women sitting on the sides by themselves at empty tables, while other people can't sit down.
The place feels like it's all about showing off how rich you are with what drinks you can buy.
As for the music. Wtf is this? It's some mix which is 80% no-name speed disco music, 15% songs that were cool three years ago, and 5% summer favorites that have been so overplayed it hurts to hear them.
Sounds shitty. The type of place I'd go into once and never go back. Thanks for the tip, now I know I'll never go in even once. If youve been in 20 to 30 times I suggest you find a new late night "hobby"!

It was still floating last time I was there. It was a nice location but even with nobody else there it took 20 minutes to get served. I wouldn't go anywhere near St 51 in the daytime besides passing through so fuck being around there at night.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
