Phnom Penh

I am planning a trip to Phnom Penh. Does anyone have any info/advice about where to stay and where to find gay nightlife?

1 Find a hotel on Booking.com, with reasonable customer reviews. Something like the Silver River Hotel and other nearby places has been a convenient location for me.

2 Google found the bars. Toolbox was the best on my last visit. Hopefully it's still open.

3 Also check out the saunas

Check out Arthur and Paul hotel.

It has a beautiful pool area plus a sauna/darkroom. Local lads turn up in the afternoon looking for action.

best uptodate, as far as that is possible, info on gay places: travelgay.com, then asia, Camb etc.
Also perhaps look into the blog of christianpfc.blogspot.com, though i kind a remember his last visit with ample reviews is already a yr or 2 old.
A&P is quite far out of centre town and there is not really that much else to do around. decide if you want to immerse in that or also see as a normal tourist a bit more of it all.
Same Q posted under another name on the other forum.

Yes, it is in business

Some very popular hotels among the gay crowd include OK Boutique Hotel (close to Blue Chili and Toolbox) and Sun/Moon Hotel (situated beside Space Hair Bar and POC Bar). A little further away is Rambutan (gay-owned and gay-friendly) and, beside it, Arthur and Paul, which is male-exclusive. A &P also has a sauna, steam and clothing-optional swimming pool which is quite popular in the early evenings.

There are four gay bars and 1 gay disco in Phnom Penh:
1. Blue Chili which has been around for 13 years and features a drag queen show on the weekends;
2. Space Hair which is popular for those who like their beef cakie;
3. POC Bar which also has a drag show most nights
4. Toolbox, the newest bar, which holds a boy dance show and sometimes a "sexy show" featuring all the staff.

Heart of Darkness is the place to go on Friday and Saturday night after midnight. The club has a drag show at 12:30 then turns into a disco catering to a mostly gay clientele.
