Stories from hostess bars
I thought it might be worthwhile to start a new thread to share snippets from hostess bars that aren't worth their own threads.
1. I recently ran into a bargirl I knew two years ago who had gone off the scene. I'm not friends with her on Facebook, but I had run across her page once because Facebook "suggested" her as a friend. there were photos of her in front of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge with an older white guy, undoubtedly a boyfriend whom she had met at her bar.
Now she's back working in another bar, and I asked her what she had been up to. She said she went to Australia with her boyfriend but "now finish." I asked her why the finished and she said "liver cancer."
I knew another bargirl years back who had the break up wth an Australian boyfriend because he couldn't meet the poverty requirements to sponsor her there so that they could live together.
White guys talk about the perils of dating bargirls (they fleece you and they sleep around), I wonder if Cambodian bargirls talk about the parallel downsides of dating bar patrons (they die and they run out money).
2. I was sitting outside a bar on Street 130 last night when two young English blokes came running up from Sisowath Quay and dashed into a non-descript massage place. This seemed weird to me, because they ran in at high speed as if they kind of owned the place, and young English men normally don't own massage places here.
Anyway, a Khmer guy on his phone followed right behind them, he waited outside for a minute, more Khmers showed up, and the two young English dudes were removed from the massage place in the midst of a discussion with the Khmers about a $200 hostess bar bill that they had literally run away from. They were frogmarched back to Street 136 where they had run up the disputed bill at Candy Bar or 69 Bar or something. I'm not sure what became of them after that.

this is pretty true tbh, the girls get blokes promising them the world, and are often let down, its no wonder they dont take some blokes seriously, or string a few guys on at the same timegavinmac wrote: White guys talk about the perils of dating bargirls (they fleece you and they sleep around), I wonder if Cambodian bargirls talk about the parallel downsides of dating bar patrons (they die and they run out money).

I was chatting with a pleasant and seeming normal 31 year-old hostess last night and noticed she had a scar on the inside of her forearm, about an inch and half long, perpendicular to her ulna, roughly halfway between her wrist and elbow.
I asked her what happened. She said she got angry about a man not loving her and stabbed herself.
I got the check.

I have very limited hostess bar experience - but just as someone mentioned about KTVs, sometimes you have guests/clients from out of town and must bring them around. Anyway, one night I had bought a girl a drink. She had put her phone on the table and left it for a moment to get us another round, and then on the screen I saw text messages popping up from "John". They read along the lines of:
"I miss you so much too. I'm looking at flights right now to come back to visit you earlier than planned."
She didn't like the subsequent comments like "where's John? Does he know you're here?" I guess the moral of this story is twofold -- 1) if you meet a hostess in a hostess bar, and move back to England, she'll probably return to the hostess bar; and 2) if you're a hostess texting your boyfriend while you're working another guy, don't have texts automatically appear on the screen of a phone you left lying around.

I had to politely ask one of the staff at Loco bar to stop aggressively scratching my penis through my jeans with her index finger which was adorned with a large fake finger nail. Picture a woman trying to rabidly tear through a scratch lotto ticket as fast as possible with just her taloned index finger...

Interesting. There was a girl on Badoo that had Pictures from Australia and actually a couple of picture of a white guy in a coffin.
Nice profile sweetie.

Long story but I still remember it vividly...
A new girl who had worked for about two weeks only, stole another girl's phone from a charging point near the bar computer. She had looked at the security cameras monitor below the bar counter and figured out which areas weren't covered by the cams. So there was no footage of her stealing it. But the other girls figured out who it was.
They confronted her but she denied it and then left the bar to 'get something to eat'
A couple of the girls still thought she had done it so they went to her rented room nearby, where they found the girl frantically packing a bag of clothes. They also found a phone case exactly the same as that of the stolen phone. The girl claimed that was a coincidence.
The two other girls persuaded her to go to the local police station with them, where she continued to claim her innocence.
The police then sent for an enforcer, who arrived and literally proceeded to beat this girl with a wooden club on her body and feet until she eventually confessed to the theft. She said she had already passed the phone on to a boyfriend who had pawned it somewhere.
My Khmer girlfriend (and owner of the bar) plus the girl who's phone had been stolen (who both witnessed this 'interview') decided not to press charges as they felt the girl had suffered enough.
The girl who's phone had been stolen starting talking to the thief and ended up giving her some more money to pay for an abortion and a bus ticket to Sihanoukville so the girl could make a new start in life!!
The thief then admitted that she knew which shop the phone was at. She took the girl there, who was able to buy back her phone for $50...

I know next to nothing about the hostess scene here, but I was a regular at Sharky when David was manager and they had a great live music scene at weekends. I was told of one freelancer who was receiving about $3000 a month from 6 different sponsors, in addition to her regular earnings. One was a Thai based businessman, who would visit regularly and sit proudly with his paramour at the bar, unaware that she was still working in his absence and was an intimate acquaintance of most of the male customers. They would arrive and leave with a motodop she recommended, who just happened to be her Vietnamese husband.
As a long term resident of Angeles City, one of the few foreigners with a respectable job, I knew a lot more about the bar scene there. Many of the girls sported scars on their wrists or forearms. The usual explanation was:
I love man big big before, but him butterfly. Do bad me. Break my plastic heart.
Given the fact that over 90% of the girls had Filipino husbands or boyfriends who were living off their earnings, it is likely that the slashes were staged for effect. I didn't know of anyone who actually offed herself that way.
Angeles regulars inevitably encountered an interruption to their nocturnal frolics, when their new companion received an international call. The conversation at the Filipina end went something like this:
Daaarling! I love you too much. I miss you every day. I no go bar any more. I stay home every night; watch movie TV. Thank you for the money you send this month, but now have big problem.
After the inevitable appeal for funds to solve the problem of the dead water buffalo, ailing father or brother's bike accident, the loving lass would end the call and get back immediately to the task at hand, or, more accurately, in hand.
