Going to Sihanoukville in end of June

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.

Phnom Penh or Pattaya would be much better choices.
SV is a building site now.

Khmer beer gardens and KTVs can still be found in SNV but they are more geared toward East asian/ Khmer clientelle.

You really wouldnt fit in there as a lone barang tourist unless you bring a host or have local language skills to get local prices.

Just goto Pattaya or Phnom phen like FLB sayed and skip the headache.

Agree. Place is fucked. I left a few weeks ago after 8 years. You might find some of the reputed imported Chinese hookers if your Mandarin is up to snuff but it's doubtful they are looking for non-Chinese customers. Now it depends on which is more important. Girls (at least for sheer quantity) - Pattaya
Cheap beer - PP

It's bad. I came back yesterday after 3 nights in Sihanoukville, I'd heard all the stories, seen all the posts about the Chinese 'take over' but it's worse than I had expected. End of an era!

Going to SHV these days for drinking and girls is a WOFTAM IMHO.

Still, you will catch the last week or so of the square.

Not many places left to stay, few Barang places left to drink, eating choices greatly reduced. Great for Poker though.
