But the bar with the ladyboys is diagonally across form the bar that was called Candy Bar for a few years. Now Candy Bar has moved back to its original location. If you look at the video, it is shown in like the first 10 seconds of it, I will try to send a link to it later when I get back on my laptop https://youtu.be/xONe8OcRhx4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the two Butterflys, the one closest to river has many more ladyboys.

Pdoggg Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Phnom Penh: On March 30 at 2:20 am, three ladyboys were arrested after trying to steal iPhone 6 plus from a drunk man who was sleeping in a car parked on street no.183, Sangkat Tumnup Teuk, Khan Chamkarmorn, Phnom Penh. The three ladyboy suspects were identified as Souy Sopheap called Aya, 23 years old, Adsa, 28 years old, and Soka, 23 years old. They are all workers at a beauty salon.

Pdoggg Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Madame Butterfly (more ladyboys than Mr Butterfly across the street) has a happy hour before 9PM with 50 cent (16 baht) drafts. After 9PM it goes up to a buck (32 baht). These prices contrast well with bars that don't have draft and the cheapest option are 2 buck cans. Hey, if you are having a good time it doesn't matter too much if it is 16 baht or 64 baht but if I open the door but don't like what I see and am having a beer to just be polite, then I like the cheaper option. Outdoors at Mr Butterfly is a good vantage point to survey the ladyboy/bargirl action since it at the epicenter of action at the intersection of of Street 136 and Street 5. Ostro Bar is also at the corner and has 75 cent drafts before 7PM. The advantage of Ostro is that they don't have bargirls and bargirls can't harass you. Giant TV screen for sports. Sydney John turned me on to that joint. But at 7PM the price goes up to 1.75 USD. Down the street at Street 130 and Street 5 the New Mekong Bar has 75 cent draft 24/7; another bar SJ turned me onto. It's not just the price that's appealing but you can sit there un-harassed sipping your brewski. That intersection is only a minute away, and good for a chinwag with a mate, but doesn't offer the drama of Street 136. It has a couple of smallish TV screens. On Street 104, the only bar with dollar drafts is Matilda Bar. There are expat joints elsewhere with 50 cent drafts all day. all night but the above are some cheap options in the girly bar areas. No matter how cheap the draft is, those things called ladydrinks will set you back $3.50 in most joints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSumGai Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 good to have recent info. I was in PP twice on my long stay trip recently. Nothing to do. One time I only stayed 4 days. It was the damn Water Moon festival and the place was a madhouse. Boogied up to KC for a bit and returned, but as I had no idea where ladyboys would be easily found I went back to Bkk. That intersection sounds like at least a good time for people watching and a few beers. And who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 There is a late night street street eatery which serves BBQ pork on rice for 5000 riel located near the corner of Street 15 and Street 144. It is ever so slightly down Street 144 in the direction of Street 13. Went there twice and both times I was the only barang there. packed with Khmer so I reckon it's a good deal, The pork seems tastier than the joint that used to be at the corner of Street 136 and Street 5.

Pdoggg Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Was down on Street 104 the other night. Matilda Bar has closed and is renamed Nana Bar. Although many hostess bars have cheap happy hours, Matilda Bar had all night dollar(32 baht) draft beer. The most typical non-happy hour draft price is a buck and half (48 baht). Most typical price for a ladydrink is $3.50 (112 baht). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Island Bar which in the past had the highest ladyboy to customer ratio had no ladyboys when I popped in the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Matilda Bar on Street 104 has been sold and the new owner changed the name to Nana Bar. One ladyboy works there and she might be the only ladyboy on Street 104. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Was on a street that I rarely traverse for a pub quiz and stumbled upon a gay bar called the Tool Box with a couple of semi mincers sitting out front so I decided to self investigate. The layout of the bar is good but sadly I think most of our forum members will find the femmiest boys there still a bridge too far. But for those interested it's on Street 174 between Norodom and Street 51. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tool Box is quite an apt name for a 'gay' bar, did you notice any of them carrying any big equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaska Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hello all, just wondering what’s the rate like now days? Bar fine, short time, long time, and whatever might occur. Just arrived today and pretty excited about this trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Cambodia is imposing a ban on foreign nationals arriving from Italy, Germany, Spain, France and the US commencing on St Paddy's Day and lasting for 30 days until after Khmer New Year. All Cambodian schools are closed until April Fools Day but teachers suspect it will be until at least after Khmer New Year, same dates as Songkran.

Pulci Gorgon Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This is amazing. I thought I had seen 7/11 shops when I was in PP in 2016, so I double checked. As a matter of fact, the shop I was thinking about is the Kiwi Mart in street 19. Ladyboys were hanging there aropund 11 PM, having a drink behind the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Kiwi Marts, Panda Marts et al overpriced compared to the 7/11s of Thailand. Some of these have outdoor seating areas where you can have a beer although occasionally a rat will scurry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I don't really know. My interest in this shop was ladyboys hanging there before moving to I don't know where. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSumGai Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 have a ladyboy friend who manages Star Bar next to Madam Butterfly and says it closed pre covid. Says if she had money she would start an all ladyboy bar. Candy bar sold for $75,000. Shall we start a Go Fund Me? :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
