Raids and Arrests in Daun Penh "Sex Cafes"

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Yeah, that's what I heard too - or at least that there were a lot of Vietnamese 'working girls' in the eastern provinces. I guess that most Cambodian village girls would not want to work as prostitutes too close to home where they might be known, so they go to work in PP or somewhere far from their family, and the Vietnamese girls go across the border to work for the same reason.

Mind you, this probably holds true everywhere. But I'd say that crossing borders is riskier for the girls.

I don't think that actually exists in kampot. Vietnamese girls could make far better money in Vietnam. Why go do that in kampot for $10. Doesn't make sense and I've never heard anyone else say it exists.
It did a few years back unless it changed after that but it also was quite ugly girls so dont see those really pretty, big boobed white skin girls in front of you.

The reason for why they were in Kampot i cant tell and im sure they could make money on more then just the blowjobs.

Im not making it up anyway.
It makes sense if the girls were straight off the farm and thought they were going to get jobs waitressing or work in a casino. Then once they get to Cambodia they find themselves in a job where they don't have a choice - they "owe" the people traffickers big bucks etc. They might be lucky if they get $1 a bj from the $10 paid.
There are a lot of naive desperate people out there who really want to believe what they are told about El Dorado and the streets paved with gold. :evil:
How dumb do they have to be to see Cambodia as somewhere the streets are paved with gold? Thailand maybe, or Malaysia, but KOW? Nah, dont get it
If it’s a Khmer living in the deepest countryside where every road is a dirt road, then any road is better.

And the roads in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and other cities, well of course they are paved with gold.
