What businesses in Phnom Penh would refuse service to a shirtless white guy?

Garage Bar, under the original owners. Jake didn't allow shirtless.

Were there a lot of people trying?Blue Dragon wrote:Garage Bar, under the original owners. Jake didn't allow shirtless.
To be fair, I guess, there's a reason that places in Florida need to have a sign "no shirt, no shoes, no service"

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Is the riverside walking/sunbathing promenade going bye bye?

That’s north of the night market, the waterfront stretch where you board the boats east of Wat Phnom,, and half of that land is currently owned by the port.gavinmac wrote:Is the riverside walking/sunbathing promenade going bye bye?

Yeah, no clue why they chose a photo of that area of Riverside. Sadly Riverside Bistro isn't going anywhere, yet...
I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords. Bye bye handsome man!

Nope, from the nightmarket area to the Japanese bridge.
Sweet deal for Mr Hei. His 30 yo daughter Hei Phanin is a board member and director of marketing in the ministry running the port and promised to a great future.Officials from both ministries were tight-lipped about why the reclassification was made or what the government planned to do with the space.
MEF spokesman Nup Sothun Vichet declined to comment on Monday and referred questions to the MPWT.
Ken Ratha, deputy director of the MPWT Cabinet, confirmed the content of the royal decree on Monday but said he had no details about the project.
MPWT spokesman Va Simsorya said he could not give out any details about what would happen to the riverfront area and instead repeated the content of the decree.
“In the past it was public-state land, and now it has become private-state land that is open to investment,” he said.
The reclassifying of state-public land to state-private land is a key step toward granting a long-term lease or economic land concession. Roughly the northern half of the designated area is already under the management of the Phnom Penh Autonomous Port (PPAP), a state-run agency, while the southern half is mostly a paved walkway where private riverboats dock. PPAP Director General Hei Bavy could not be reached for comment.
The riverfront real estate would likely fetch between $4,000 and $6,000 per square metre on the open market, according to Chrek Soknim, CEO of real estate firm Century 21 Mekong, making the potential value of the land up to $550 million.
The green is the tourist boat area, which is public, the rest is not.
The point most readers here don't get is that in cambodia it is very common to take your shirt off and/or just rol your shirt up so you can show your beer belly. People keep confusing this with Thailand. In Thailand it is indeed absolutely not done to take your shirt off especially out of the tourist areas!
If you think you are offending these khmers by taking your shirt off you are wrong. They really don't care if you get skin cancer and they just see you a bit more as a clown maybe if you walk around with no shirt. but they already see us as lower then them so it really doesn't matter much.
If you would ask them they will be very eager to say that it is not polite.. but that is just part of their show! you should see how they behave in daily life when no foreigners around.
drinking beer in groups on weekdays with no shirts and littering plastic and everything else around them. imagine if you could listen to those conversations.. they are having.. oh lord that will expose them..
Go around some more I mean other cities but even in phnom penh you will see a lot of men and also older men don't wear shirts or showing their belly! also police and officials do it when they feel comfortable enough in their own areas or just other locals in their street sell shops..
