But it still amazes me how the locals raise their prices to compensate for the loss of business which should actually exacerbate the situation. SOT (ironically, means an alcoholic), good feed, good price.

I understand your point there about price increases, too a westerner in this kind of situation would usually be the opposite too lower prices and attract more customers, resulting in a better profits. But since the source of goods are now probably higher priced for those in business if they too were to put increases their prices, the results would be fewer customers, less buying, less work, and still a profit.

That is probably their thinking, but their day-by-day mentality means less repeat customers, unless a punter falls in love. Which brings me to lady drinks, now $6 is common for a glass of ice with a twist of beer. My only dress is wearing thin, and I'm running low on helium!

$3.5 in Harrys.

I have never seen $6 anywhere in Phnom Penh, $4 or $4.50 is about the upper limit.

You don't need to expand your patronage. I could rattle off a few but it's not exactly good advertising and, in fairness, anyone can charge what they want for stuff; everyone's option to pay it, or not. I get irked when the higher prices aren't clearly displayed (lower prices don't seem to bother me), particularly increases.
