I recognized a guy I'd met in Bangkok years ago, thanks to his distinctive tattoo.

Another time a tattoo was helpful 😉

In Phnom Penh, I stayed at the Arthur & Paul Resort (A&P). Here too, the rule applies: you get the lowest price by booking directly with the hotel. This is in contrast to Bangkok, where, strangely enough, I often find a lower price for a hotel through a booking site like booking.com or trip.com.

The new Phnom Penh airport is beautiful, by the way. A very large, beautifully shaped roof. I find the architecture very beautiful. See photo. Unfortunately, the airport is quite far from the city. It was a drive of well over 45 minutes to my hotel.

It has been many years since I stayed at A&P. Before COVID. Because during COVID, they closed for a renovation period. The hotel rooms on the first floor have disappeared. There are only five rooms left on the second floor. Where there used to be hotel rooms on the first floor, there is now a locker room, a cruising area, and two beautiful massage rooms.

On the ground floor, where there used to be a small massage room, there is now a new dry sauna. With a large window. When you are in the sauna, you see all the guys walking past through the cruising area. Very nicely done. There is a virtual tour video on the internet where you can see everything. See below.

The hotel is well-maintained and luxurious. Highly recommended. And the sauna and cruising area are busy with visitors from outside. It can get crowded when the sun goes down. Nice. The massages are also very good. In luxury rooms with a comfortable massage table. There are currently five massage guys working at the hotel. I saw three of them immediately on Grindr (see photo). And they are willing to do more than just massage... You can communicate pleasantly with them in English and their massage skills are good. The staff at A&P are all friendly, like to chat, and are very helpful. The massage guys are also the ones who take your suitcase to your room for you. So I had already received the first massage offer and had already touched, cuddled, and kissed a bit before I had even unpacked my suitcase. Lol

A fellow forum member stayed two nights when I was also there, at the hotel next to A&P. So it was nice to be able to meet up again for food and drinks. Over two evenings, we went to ToolBox Bar, Space Bar, and Blue Chili. They were all very fun and sociable. Naturally, the muscular guys at Space Bar appealed to me the most. The drag show at Blue Chili was very entertaining, and the atmosphere among the visitors was energetic.

In Phnom Penh too, you only have to turn on Grindr and the offers come flying at you from all sides. Both free ones and those from moneyboys. And the MB rates are lower than in Thailand. All in all, had three good days in Phnom Penh. A good combination of relaxing by the pool, eating and drinking out, and excitement during hotel cruising, massages, and a Grindr date

Thank you for your instalment on Arthur & Paul. I'll be staying there in the coming months so this has been informative.

My memory from last trip there was $50usd was the average what guys wanted and a lot fewer of them than in Bangkok/Pattaya

Back in Bangkok for the last five nights of my vacation. This time, I am staying once again at the familiar Ibis Styles Silom. I do like a modern room, so I’ll settle for a slightly smaller room, as some forum members suggest. For me, it is more than big enough.

In the evening, three forum members and I were supposed to meet up for dinner at G's. However, more joined us during dinner, and eventually, there were seven of us. It turned out that many forum members were in town. A number had individual plans for the evening and had arranged to meet up with guys (regular or new). So, just as some forum members dropped by, others went their separate ways. We had a few more drinks at Midnight Bar, where several forum members brought their boy of the night along as well. It was very enjoyable.

I had arranged with a forum member to take a look at the shower show at EDT (Eau de Toilette) this evening. It is only open on Fridays and Saturdays, which is why I couldn't go last time. The shows start just after 11 o'clock, and every weekend they have a different (international) headliner. See the flyer for this weekend below.

I really like it there. It's a club and the shows are energetic. The crowd is fun too. Although people were mostly there to watch the shows from the sidelines, there was actually quite a bit of dancing going on. I filmed some of the shows for my Instagram and made this video out of it.

It's not a host club. No dicks are shown during the shows. And you can't take guys back to your hotel. That is why it won't be of interest to everyone. But I find it a welcome change from the regular boy bars and (big cock) shows. Or do as my fellow forum member did: just bring a guy from one of the host bars to EDT.

for overnight , yes.  For shorter arrangements  treat it as invitation to counter offer.

Selection may not be as big as in Bangkok but  on my last trip  in early Feb all three guys  I hosted seemed to be more enthusiastic than their  Bangkok brothers so I gladly spoiled the market  but upping their expectancies  . Fair exchange for them upping mine.

In Siem Reap was €30 to 50.
