I think so…space hair guy named Boe I think 
 

Yes hot and I think he’s straight like many others  there. 

Yes and I know one who was let go for such an infraction. But sun shines sometimes even in deep of the night as outside of their shift , like most  workers everywhere,  are free to do their laundry , visit library or do whatever takes their fancy .

Please be mindful of donating to gay bar owners for the current Cambodia and Thailand conflict. Some are very transparent with how the money is spent and some are very much the opposite. I won’t name names but just please be careful so that any money you do donate makes it to the people who need it. This is Phnom Penh based. 

I lived there for the last 6 months. I’m exhausted from this gay crowd. Is it me or is it a little bit toxic? Fell for someone who then decided he was a money boy and needed quite a lot of cash. He owned a bar and a car and bought his parents house seemingly but only had $100 to his name suddenly. Anyway that didn’t work out but other guys I met didn’t want to be scene with a barang in public, only the gay bars, and no one there is interested in using condoms. Crazy.
I wish these guys would be upfront about being money boys. I had a fling with a 40 year old guy, quite out of shape etc who then wanted money in the morning after the deed was done. All really off putting. 
 
and I’m guessing drugs have something to do with this? Is Phnom Penh any better?

Well from my experience lots will have changed by December. But I visit often so can update before your trip. 

Gay bars
Toolbox - just reopened, has shirtless dancers, fun place
POC - great little bar, open late, dancers every night, drag queens fri and sat, great staff, very welcoming 
Blue Chilli - recently moved, not tried the new venue, drag shows, big crowds 
Heart of Darkness - drag shows, lots of gay guys there but it’s really touristy and not my favourite place but is open really late like 5am sometimes  
Space Hair - really hot waiters, hands everywhere!  
Hotels
There are 3 gay ones, and 2 are really well priced, the Birdcage and Pride resort. The Birdcage are fine with guests they just have to leave their id at reception if they are locals. There’s also Arthur and Paul’s, it’s really lovely but had a recent price increase. 
 
Saunas and massage
I think LOVE is the only sauna that would be like a gay sauna in other countries, but I didn’t enjoy my experience there at all.  The host or manager was super friendly but it was just not clean.  
The other places are all massage places only but I found them all to be quite nice environments, not sleazy and fairly easy to find etc.  Hather Khmer massage being the most fancy, always lots of guys to choose from if you want a massage and always clean. Then there’s ones called Man Massage World, Ahram massage, Chanak spa, Paradise massage, Ganesh. They all have telegram so perhaps get that before you come and you can make appointments or just show up and see who is there. Facebook is still very popular here so you can find the place on Facebook and it will almost always have there telegram channel linked

welcome to the forum
last two trips I stay at OK Boutique and OK Palace , two sister hotels right behind National Museum and none made any fuss with visitors even in deep middle of the night.

Santiagodc wrote an epic, three-part account of the 2019 prepandemic scene in Athens. His posts were my guidebook, but of course a lot has changed. Here is my update:
Theaters
Sadly, the wild, astonishing places that Santiagodc vividly described were shuttered. You’d think the guys who sold themselves there would have moved to nearby Omnia Square, but not the case.
Omnia Square
Nothing like the cruising nirvana that Santiagodc saw. Usually no more than a couple of guys, if any, were waiting by each metro escalator. And most of them were neither attractive nor making any eye contact.
Usually, only one or two guys, if any, in the whole Omnia area were signaling availability. Overall, there was neither the quantity or quality that I’d expected. I erroneously thought the pandemic would bring out more immigrants needing cash.
One reason may have been a police crackdown. Police were everywhere around Omnia, especially on the weekend.
I nodded to one good-looking young man who followed me around the corner where I discovered he was selling grass only. He refused to consider sex even with a generous offer.
Omnia side streets
A few guys were hustling on the side streets that Santiagodc had identified. But again, few were good choices. Around here I found only three (during a week) worth taking to the short-term hotel one block over.
€5 rooms
Santiogodc’s tips on the €5 short-term hotel rooms and how it all works were spot on. Rooms were surprisingly clean too.
Parks
Same pattern. Not nearly as many guys hustling as I’d expected – only a few, day or night.
Fees
Santiogodc’s summary of expected payments was higher than I paid. I always said, as if not open for debate: €20. None ever hesitated and they all smiled. But these were for short action in €5 hotel rooms or bar washrooms or park thickets, not for longer sessions. (Santiagodc took some guys back to his hotel room.)
Multinational
As Santiogodc described in detail, you do see a variety of the Balkans through to Central Asia. I personally promoted international relations with Albania, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Iraq, Kurdistan, and often Persia.
Bars
Many of the bars were closed and a few were just beginning to open back up. One place that was open had a number of healthy-looking, nearly middle-class, easy-going, G-for-P, Persian guys was Sami's.
Bonus Eye Candy
Among the many Greek policemen in their 20s or 30s, quite a few were hot and, as their tight uniforms revealed, have toned bodies and nice bulges. In every group of four or five, invariably one was extra, jaw-droppingly sexy.
Tourist tip
Get the Acropolis at 8am when it opens and be rewarded with having the Parthenon all to yourself. Then go to the new Acropolis Museum nearby and have breakfast with a view on the upstairs terrace.
Of course, “your mileage may vary.” But, if you want to visit Athens anytime soon, you can have fun, but I’d caution against expecting the full, grand scene with wild theaters that Santiagodc recounted from years past.

Agree that is great news... but how about the pandemic response and vaccination efforts in those countries? Will visitors have same access to restaurants, bars, and guys? I'm not sure how much "fun" i'd have. I'm all for having a good time. In fact, booked tickets to Hustlaball in Berlin later this year. However, with so many unknowns now,  would probably prefer to stay in the US and explore some national parks and cities that I haven't visited yet.
