Come to Cambodia

Beachy,

Agree with you on Heart of Darkness I had a great time. Loved the sound system, the lighting, the masks in glass cases, sofas, the lot. Great night out.

Also, I do very much like the Cambodians but I adore the mentality of the Lao and they are easier to get your wicked way with. I find the language easier too............... :laughing3:

Kev,


Did you hear anything about this place? http://www.qgphnompenh.com/


I'm off to PP for a few days tomorrow. As it's Saturday I was gonna check out Heart of Darkness but saw the above?

Hi lexusgs,

No one mentioned it to me but it looks good on their website, let me know how you get on please. It's amazing really, Cambodia just gets going when Lao is ready for closing up and going to sleep.

I am really having a good time as well as with the difference in cultures.

Depends if you're going with partner/friends or alone.

QG looks like a straight/mixed club. Don't know if you'd find many gays there but the photos on the site seem to show a few shirtless guys so there might be a large "gay corner" like at Heart of Darkness. Check it out and let us know.

If it's your first time there, I'd go to Heart of Darkness first. That nightclub is a classic icon and you're guaranteed to find a decent gay crowd there every night.

The business owners in Siem Reap did seem a bit Cliquey when I saw them socialising with each other at Miss Wongs.

Disgusting! Fancy hanging out with your friends. Have they no shame?

You don't speak English then Kevin? I thought Cambodians spoke quite good English, based on recent posts.

thonglor55,

Obviously having a bad hair day today!

Many of the Cambodians and Lao that I met do speak good English, many didn't, and I speak good Thai and reasonable/passable Lao, why would I want to study this and not use it??

You can't beat a bit of ' good old showing off, can you?'.............. :laughing3:

I studied Latin at school but I don't go around spouting Latin tags, now do I? I also studied math but routinely use a calculator if I can't do mental arithmetic - quickly now, what is the square root of '69'? The main value I find in foreign languages - since I'm tone deaf speaking a tonal language like Thai well isn't an option for me - is that there will sometimes be subtleties in one language that have no exact equivalent in the other. The frustration educated Thais express to me is that English has so many subtle variations - do you know the difference between "infer" and "imply" for example? - whereas there's only one word in Thai for all of those variations. A word I often use as an example of having no equivalence is the Hebrew word "hesed". It is so difficult to translate exactly that there's an entire Wikipedia article on it. Of course if posters like boy wonder Beachlover are to be believed I must be making all this up as I'm an illiterate, ill-educated low-life, but there you are.

By the way the square root of 69 has to be 8 point something since 8*8 is 64 and 9*9 is 81 - and what that means my dear Watson is that the ideal number for an orgy is slightly greater than 8. Interestingly that chimes in nicely with recent studies on the maximum size for work teams which is 9

Guys,

Get ready for donalds report on Siem Reap.

I am looking forward to it and then I am going to give a further update on Lao PDR shortly.

I am confused as to whom Donald is. But if he has been to PP would like to know where he stayed .

We stayed at this beautiful hotel in Phnom Penh and it was wonderful. We went as a couple so have no comment on joiners. Had no need to ask. We met friends there so have no social gay life to discuss.

Great hotel and great dining room

My partner has queried why I did not include the gay owned and gay welcoming Cockatoo in Siem Reap, where we had an even more pleasant stay. It was for me more personal but I will share it with members.

Great place and enthusaisticly recommended . Great advice re local places to go. We had a ball.
