Re: newbie feeling gouged and lost
Been 5 yrs since I was last in Siem Reap (I know thats a long time) but I plan on being here for 3 mths and as i'm visiting from Thailand my expectations were that at worst I would pay the same prices as Thailand but hoping to pay maybe 15-20% less. i went to Angor Market and Lucky today and a few ...

Re: What does 168 represent?
As said before, chinese and sino-khmer are quite superstitious with numbers kinda like people with rabbit's feet or believing in Friday 13th.
The numbers are like related to the "feng shui".
Anyway for 168 (yao liu ba) means roughly the "way to fortune" (or gold road or whatever ...)

Re: Eating Scorpions: Pitfalls of the Cambodian Dating Culture
Backhome, I'll join Gavinmac in asking what in the story makes you do sure the girl is a hooker. Is that because in your extensive experience most girls you met who were working in posh hotels were moonlighting as hookers, or because in general any Cambodian woman can be bought? ( I think you marri...

Re: Back to dating Westerners after failed Khmer relationship?
Okay, let me try this again. I used to date in a certain way. I looked down on other ways of dating. I came here...that changed. I became a totally different person in the process. But I liked it; it felt good somehow in a foreign but fitting sort of way. Now I'm single...sorta...and I feel caught ...

Re: How bright are the lights at the new Hard Rock Cafe Phnom Penh?
Didn't see any issue. You got your bill + VAT 10% + Service Charge 10% + PLT 3% on alcholic drinks. Items price were listed correctly on the bill Shouldn't the PLT be 20% on the tax base rather than the invoice amount (tax base is 20% of the invoiced amount). definitely for the local stuff anyway a...

Re: How bright are the lights at the new Hard Rock Cafe Phnom Penh?
A lot of people have mentioned quality of food when tipping - shouldn’t that not matter as the waitress has no control over that? Also, lots of talk about quality of service, etc. So why is tipping based on a percentage? I’m pretty sure it takes a waiter the exact same amount of effort to open a $2...

Re: How bright are the lights at the new Hard Rock Cafe Phnom Penh?
They reduced the brightness of the lights ! But it's still bright !
I've been to many Hard Rock Cafe around the world but I have to say that (for the moment) the food at Phnom Penh is outstanding (compare to other Hard Rock obviously).

Re: Back to dating Westerners after failed Khmer relationship?
cant see a female/female relationship working in Cambodia.. I know at least one lesbian relationship in my close circle, they're khmer/khmer and it looks like a real married couple (one is playing the husband role like a traditional couple). But I wonder if they made a big phat wedding and stuff. S...

Re: Do you guys tip at mid range restaurants?
I was at a bar last night for a couple draft beer, had a conversation with a European expat and this topic comes up he said at a restaurant if you tip a pretty waitress often enough she will let you get laid for free. I asked how so, he replied she thinks you are generous and wealthy and girls like...

Re: Do you guys tip at mid range restaurants?
I always tips, only the amount differs.
Usually, I leave the small change if it was average service. More if it was a good experience.
I tip more on the place I go often .
And yeah, ktv costs a lot in tips sometime even more that the bill
