Interesting. I figured the freelancers hustle at Darlin Darlin was the steep prices for their services. Think they are risky even if I stayed at nagaworld and reception took there ID? Even so I may just try my luck with some of the sexy workers that are non pros. Never really done pay for play, but I guess in Cambodia most girls are looking for a financial boost.

If the hotel has her ID, that will certainly help. As for the "sexy workers", I don't think you would have much success. Cambodia is a conservative country.

My friend does not mind high maintenance since he has get used to that here in China and his Ex-wife is also one of those. He is just after hottest ladies possible, money is not a problem.

I had a wealthy friend come over last year with that attitude. It didn't work out well.

its nice up on the roof terrace, and has a great location on 136, only been open a few years, not stayed there myself though so cant comment on the rooms, im not really a fancy hotel kinda guy

I stayed in the Sun & Moon just after it opened. Not bad but you need to choose your room wisely as some rooms are extremely noisy.

I always liked the Amanjaya; my go-to place when I worked in Chau Doc 14-15 years ago when there was not much choice. Gotten a little too expensive.

I quite like the River 108. The rooms facing the back are large and quiet; the front-facing rooms get the full blast from the Night market.

Riverside suites is also around the corner from candy bar...and close to corner bar. They don’t have the best reviews but I like the fact that there open 24 hrs.
Anyone know of any other decent 24 hr bars?
You guys have been really cool with suggestions...thanks again

I stayed at Riverside Suites (a long time ago) and it was a huge suite with great river views.
Oscars bar in st. 104 is a (very good) live music bar from 10pm every day. They do have hostesses. Not to be confused with Oskar restaurant on the Riverside. Bunny bar is a bit rough, as are all the bars in 104 really, except maybe Air Force and OneZeroFour. That doesn't mean they are bad, just a bit rough, especially the toilets!
The 24 hour bars are all at or close to the intersection of 136 and 5. Again, they are all a bit rough. All the other bars open around 5pm.
Candy and Corner seem to have both gone a bit quiet lately.
Again, if you are new to Cambodia, it would be wise to start with the smarter bars so you don't get culture shock. Most of the bars on the north side of the block on 130 between 5 and 13 would qualify, especially Ponytails, Honey Pot, Sensations. It won't take long before you move on to rougher places!

To explain this point. IMHO, really good-looking young Cambodian girls will have a Khmer bf and if you take one, her heart will not be in her work and she will want to get away from you as soon as she can. Much better to take pot luck in a reputable bar, choose a girl or two to drink with and have some fun. If you're lucky some girl who looks good will warm to you and you'll have a great time. If not, you've still had a nice time and you can try again tomorrow.
