Thanks for the info. In no way was that post a derailment of this thread. I was considering Phnon Penh a few months before I went to Thailand, but had heard it wasn't safe at that time due to the unrest.

Personally, I wouldn't have any concerns about traveling to Phnom Penh. Like any other city just use common sense and you will be fine.

Are you referring to the Cambodia/Thailand border dispute? Siem Reap is closer geographically and I doubt most people there are even aware of this issue. Most Cambodians literally live day-to-day just trying to take care of the basics.

Talking with other travelers (mostly Aussies and Brits) everyone really had a favorable impression of Siem Reap. One couple from Sydney had only planned to stay a few days, to visit the temples, and ended up staying over two weeks because it was so cheap and enjoyable.

Trying not to derail the thread but last month I spent a few weeks in Vietnam (Hanoi) and Siem Reap, Cambodia. I plan on going to Thailand and Laos next year.

I feel Cambodia is a somewhat hidden gem - very friendly people, interesting sites (Angkor Wat), and decent nightlife in the Pub Street area. Prices are very reasonable and the US dollar is the preferred currency. Nice hotel (free breakfast, wifi, air conditioning) was $30/night, 50-cent draft beers, decent thai or western meals for around $4.

An hour foot massage was $3, full body is $8, "yum yum" and "boom boom" isn't much more. There are many legit massage parlors, so be sure to ask your tuk tuk driver for "boom boom" massage if that's what you're after. Tuk tuk rides are only a $1 or $2. A small "Happy" Pizza was $4.50 - be sure to ask specifically for the "happy" to be added or you just get a regular pizza.

I thought the girls were very sweet and some looked pretty good - most are thin, try to dress nice (despite living in poverty, avg wage is $60 month) and have the nicest smiles and very beautiful eyes. One might be disappointed though if used to the quantity and quality of women in Thailand. Not sure about the P4P scene since I just went to the massage parlors. I've heard Phnom Penh has a better nightlife and Sihanoukville has some decent beaches (aka Snookyville).

Like Thailand, Cambodians love americans because they tend to spend more, tip better, and show more respect than the Korean tourists do. Korean tourists in Siem Reap mostly spend their money at Korean owned hotels, restaurants, and businesses.

Despite the fairly recent atrocities in Cambodia, the people seem very friendly and optimistic. Walking the streets in Siem Reap at night felt safer than SoCal. A few beggars were around but hardly any scammers (especially compared to Hanoi). I highly recommend Siem Reap for anyone looking to relax and get off the beaten path or maybe on a visa run from Thailand.


Excellent review....

Kung. I can see that. It's kind of a toss up for me because Pennapa is cuter in person than in photos. Plus, for a go-go dancer, she's a good girl(not by Western standards of course)- doesn't drink, no tattoos. Kung doesn't have any tattoos, but she drinks every night and smokes.

DEAC, admit u don't even know what a condom is


LMAO. I swear I used a condom every time. The go-go girls were very insistent on being safe. Though I'm sure they have their price, I didn't press the issue. Kung, on the other hand, I'm almost certain I could BB when I go back in October. But I probably won't. Especially if the polyurethane condoms are as good as advertised.

Ok, she took it better than I thought she would.

Thai Love Links is like fish in a barrel. I've posted my picture in this thread, so I think it's well established that I'm no Brad Pitt. That said, if I lived in Bangkok, between Tagged and TLL, I'd never have to do P4P again.

What is p4p?

I subscribed for 6 months. It's a very active site with hundreds of girls on at any given time, though most likely rife with fake profiles and scammers as well. Usually I just log in at peak hours and wait for the chat windows to start popping up.

I took a look.......... Seems as though most of the girls don't subscribe and are depending on the guys to do so in order to make contact since one has to be a payine member. Does that sound about right?

I assume after you begin talking to one you as to see her on a webcam or something to lessen the chance that it's a scam?

And how do you go about determining which ones may be somewhat legit, but are just trying to get you over there to rob you or even worse?

I suppose if that is the case they will lose interest after a while if they can't get you over there quick enough.......

Yes. The girls who do subscribe are often quite unattractive. However, the girls may send and receive messages to paying members so the guy doesn't have to be the initiator.

Yes, via Skype or MSN.

And how do you go about determining which ones may be somewhat legit, but are just trying to get you over there to rob you or even worse?

The ones who are over-eager would throw up a red flag. Most "good" Thai girls don't seem to be very aggressive at all, and it's the man who has to be the pursuer. That's my impression anyway. Keep in mind my experience with "good" Thai girls is extremely limited. :)

I actually did have something weird happen. Kind of a long story, but here we go.

I am very specific in my profile in that I am looking for a girl from Bangkok. So when I get a message, "interest" sent to me, or a chat window pops up, I check their profile to see where they are from. Almost all the time, I ignore them if they are not from BKK. However, one time a very cute Issan girl opened up a chat window with me. After I looked at her profile really quick I started talking to her. We chatted for over an hour and I asked her if she had a Facebook account and we added each other as friends. Per her TLL profile she was single and didn't have any children.

So I started checking out all her pictures and everything looked cool. Nice pictures of her with her friends on a bus trip to Cambodia, some pics from SongKron, etc. At this point, I suspected nothing until I saw several pictures of her with a baby. No big deal, though. So far. So after looking through her pictures, I went to her profile page, and then I see that she had changed her relationship status from Married to Single several minutes before she sent me the Friend Request. With this knowledge and through some deductions I made based on her pictures I guessed who she may be married to so I went to his Facebook page, which did not have any security settings, and found several pictures of them together and this:

I was doing all this while we were exchanging messages as by this time our chat had migrated to messaging via Facebook. Then I asked her if she had a baby and husband. She said she had baby but no husband. Then I posted the above picture, and within 30 seconds I was Unfriended and blocked. I then went back to her husband's profile and the Married status was changed to single and the post was deleted off the profile page.

I had forgotten all about it, then a few days ago, I get an email from quepasa.com which seems to be a Spanish/Portugese version of Tagged that said that Sujittra Panyasawat (a very Thai name, but different than the one on Facebook) had requested to add me as a friend. I go check out the profile and it's her picture.

I'm not really sure if she was trying to set me up to scam me or she was cheating on her husband, but it was weird all the way around.

Yes, one of the first things I noticed is that many Thai girls have great asses. The girl named Oui that I mentioned several times during my trip has an amazing rear end. I love Chinese and Japanese girls as well, but most don't offer much in that department.
