Thanks OP. A great travel story that you can tell your grandkids; plus I needed a good laugh! LOL. What's next on the itinerary? A $5 beer? Keep in touch, you're killing us....

It's probably not coke, by the way. If you're lucky it's just smack

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

@OP
You need to check out some other places. Last time I had a "slider" in PP it was $1 a piece at Sundance on St 172, beer was $1, and there was live music thrown in. Have a look at the food forum here, might give you some ideas: getting-your-fill/
And feel free to ask the expats things like 'Where can i find decent Mexican food for under $5 '? Or 'best place for Khmer street food?'. Ask, and you will see what you get.
And I'm sure someone will give you the address of a decent barber if you ask nicely.

Use the common sense! Avoid touristic areas because all the prices will be doubled, tripled or even worse. You can eat like a king in restaurants where all the locals go. Usually one dollar or even less. Shamefully, the khmer food is not as tasty than thai but it goes. And if you do as the locals, you can save big money.

If OP was poor he woulda spend 5 minutes extra and sniffed out the nearest bai sach chrouk for 3000 riel instead of splurging 6$ on BK.

True, but if he was wasn't poor he wouldn't be complaining about a couple of dollars, we've all been scammed a little at one point. What ever happened to marking it down to experience and moving on.Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 9:46 pmThe more money you have the more you pay.Apexisto wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 8:56 pm Use the common sense!

From the paraplegic midget. Although the quality is very iffy. And I needed to go to a high end salon to save what was left afterwards. And it was $3.99.frank lee bent wrote:where in usa can you get a haircut for $6???????????????????????????
And then $25 to fix the damage.
