Hello, gentlemen!
Long time lurker here. I'd like to thank you all for providing me valuable insights into traveling different parts of the globe, as well as countless hours of entertainment at work, at the expense of productivity.
I figure it's time that I gave something back to this community. I've heard Sihanoukville mentioned a few times, but the official datasheet has yet to be posted to Roosh's compendium, so let me take care of that.
I've been to Southeast Asia twice for a total of around six months. About ten days total, I posted up in the endearing town of Sihanoukville. The following is a brief summary of what I took away from my visits to Sihanoukville:
Myself:
To put things in perspective, I'm now 31 years old (visited when I was 26 the first time, 30 the second time). Good looking dude, 5'11 athletic build. My game is mediocre, but I'm constantly working on it.
Describing Sihanoukville:
Sihanoukville was a sleepy beach town the first time I went (2009), with a minimal backpacker presence. The next time I visited (2013), there was a significant upgrade in development. There are a few higher end hotels that have set up shop, and you'll even find some families on vacation there, as well as older couples. There's now a boardwalk, connecting the beach bars, whereas before, our bar crawls were sandy hiking adventures, walking a quarter mile along the beach to get to the next bar. But there are a ton of bars and restaurants that line the beach now, catering mostly to the backpacker crowd. I'd say that it's pretty split between foreigners and Cambodians (mostly Cambodian girls, wanting to hook up with white dudes). The vibe is festive at nights (even during the less touristy rainy season), and exudes positive energy. Everybody is just having a good time. Noticed a lot of Aussies moreso than other nationalities, and if drinking isn't enough to satisfy your wild side, you can buy yourself a hit of N02 gas for I believe, was two dollars. Speaking of ridiculously low prices....
Costs:
Let's call a spade a spade. Part of the reason why so many of us come to Asia in the first place is the generous prices, to which Cambodia is no exception. Scratch that, Cambodia puts even Thailand to shame in that aspect. It's cheap as fuck to the point that I've had several scooter taxi dudes fighting over the right to take me across town for a three dollar trip.
Everything is cheap in Cambodia, and although Sihanoukville, (a now-touristy/backpacker beachtown) is more expensive than other parts of the country, you can still get shots of cheap liquor for a dollar apiece on the boardwalk beaches and wash it down with a dollar beer.
Even if you're set on spending as much money as humanly possible, you'll still be hard-pressed getting to 100 dollars a day without tacking on senseless purchases. Lodging is probably the biggest expense. I spent ten dollars a night on a midrange hotel (forget the name), and meals ranged from 2-5 dollars. A few beach-side restaurants offered seafood kebab specials for five dollars a plate. That was our standard pregame meal before hitting the nightlife.
Nightlife:
The town has a vibrant nightlife. When I went in 2014, it was during the offseason/rainy season, and there were still a bunch of people out. "Dolphin", I believe was the most popular venue, packed mostly with foreigners (80 percent or so), dancing around like glowstick twirling retards (not judging - I joined some nights). They may as well rename the venue to "come here if you want to hook up". Like mentioned before, it's more of a backpacker town than anything, so I think the younger dudes would appreciate it moreso than the more elderly gentlemen. Though, even at 30, I didn't feel out of place at all around the 18-24 year olds. Much of it is just whether you can cut loose and party, and I'm pretty good at that after a few beers.
Girls:
Obviously this is subjective, as everybody's got their own preferences, but I'm a big fan of Cambodian girls. Using Thai girls as a baseline, I found them to be slightly shorter, have bigger boobs and butts, and slightly darker skin. I prefer them to Thais. Around Sihanoukville, most of them speak conversational English, or even better. Lots of foreigners employ Cambodian girls at their bars, and in turn, learn English through their bosses and by sleeping with foreigner after foreigner after foreigner.
Seriously, if you're an average looking white guy and you cannot get laid in this town, you need to seriously revamp your game.
To describe one of my lays, the story starts off with a buddy and I innocently playing pool with these two Cambodian girls and one of them just out of the blue asked my friend if he wanted a BJ. She wanted money, but he convinced her to do it for free ("shoring", I believe is the vernacular around here) during their walk back to the hotel room. Left alone, I used my free time to hit up one of the more popular bars and meet some people. I struck up a conversation with an Australian couple and convinced them to play some beer-pong with me. This is actually a game tactic of mine, as I now need a partner. So I start asking cute girls if they want to partner up and play some beerpong with us. An absolute stunner Norwegian girl (a 9) agrees, and we lose badly. I flirt a little bit, but she seemed a little stand-offish. I figure I'd have my best shot at her by socializing and talking to other girls to stoke her jealousy fires a bit. During our beerpong game, I noticed a cute Cambodian girl, watching the game intently, giving me the "bambi eyes". I know that's a guaranteed lay. She was a solid 6.5-7, wearing a backwards baseball hat, with short shorts. Kind of tom-boy looking, but super young. I find out she's 20 years old. We start talking a bit, and start dancing. As I'm dancing with her, I notice she's actually hotter than I first gave her credit for. Her casual shorts and tee shirt covered what was some serious T and A. She's been upgraded to a 7.5-8 in my mind. After some grinding, I go for the makeout, as we're on top of the stage, in plain view, with a few other people letting loose, and I'm secretly hoping that the hot Norwegian girl sees us. I'm actually sporting some serious wood now from the grinding (I hide it by slipping it under my basketball shorts' waist-line, like a boss. Fashion is irrelevant in this town, dark jeans and a polo is overdressing), and I decide to strike while her buying temperature is high. I suggest having a few beers at my room and she obliges. I don't actually have any alcohol in my room, but I've got other liquids that she can feast on, if ya know what I mean.
During the five minute walk to my room, I'm realizing that my friend might still be in there with his girl (stupidly, we decided to share a room). I knock on the door to find out, and he responds "Give me a minute!" They wrap it up, leave, and then we have a go at it. She's a dirty little girl, who does everything I want. It's worth mentioning that if you're going to fool around with these girls, TO USE A CONDOM. This girl, I found out, let's just say that I wasn't the only traveler that she was hooking up with. But she was cute, fun, pleasant to be around, and loved putting my weiner in her mouth, which I appreciate.
My friend had a similar experience with his girl (her name was "Beyonce", haha). She was quite the looker as well. An 8, I'd say, with a serious booty. Funny story, his girl insisted that he shaved his beard before they hooked up. He didn't want to, from laziness, she still insisted, and then she actually did it for him while he lay in bed, fingering her. A final word on Sihanoukville local women is that they get clingy, which is great if you want a short term girlfriend, annoying if you want to fool around with multiple girls. "My" girl actually confronted me because she'd heard that I hooked up with another local girl the following night, which was hilarious, as I knew she was banging other travelers. Anyways, they get a little clingy.
Overall in the 10 or so days I've been in that town, I've gotten three lays - 2 Cambodians and 1 Aussie. All were in the 7-8 range and from nightlife. Many will be "sponsored", I believe is the term for it. Some foreign high roller owns property in town or something, pays for her rent, and has a guaranteed lay every time he comes to that part of the world, having other girls lined up in other parts of the world whenever he pleases.
Overview:
Sihanoukville is a ton of fun for a short stay, but I couldn't imagine living there more than a few weeks. Once you get away from the main touristy area, it's quite poor, the deeper you go into town. I didn't stray too much away from the beaten path, but there was some nightlife left untouched that I noticed on a scooter ride to a restaurant we ate at a few times. Speaking of, it's probably best that you do NOT rent a scooter like you can in many other parts of Asia, as the roads are unreliable (pavement is inconsistent and loose gravel litters some stretches) and I noticed a checkpoint to check for drunk drivers, as well as drivers licenses, though I can't imagine it would cost more than ten bucks to pay off a cop.
The food kind of sucks in Cambodia, when compared to other parts of Asia, but the aforementioned restaurant that we hit up, was excellent. The joint's called "Snake House Restaurant and Hotel", which is worth a visit.
There's other stuff to do besides gaming and the beach. Sihanoukville has two casinos in town, and I think there's a hundred dollar sit and go tournament that runs every night. I tried partaking one night, but I was kindly asked to leave the venue, as I was staggeringly drunk, and bleeding all over the place from having cut my foot on some glass earlier in the night with my flip flops (dress up if you're going to gamble - show you're a higher value man, as the more high society Cambodians come here).
For us sporty dudes, there's also a cheap gym that has a decent weights section. Squat racks, dumbells, olympic lifting equipment, with a few punching bags (Cambodians, while not as reknowned for their kickboxing as their Thai neighbors, do still have their fair share of kickboxers), and treadmills. I'm sure that you can take up some kickboxing classes in town if you'd like for pretty cheap.
That's about all I've got for now. Girls are pretty, costs are cheap, it's a party-laden beach town, and developing quite rapidly, though losing its luster for the adventurer who wants to get off the beaten path.
In the future, I plan on adding a another few datasheets, as I've been fortunate enough to have traveled to some really awesome parts of that continent. Everywhere from Southern Thailand (Ao Nang, in the Krabi province is unbelievably gorgeous) to North Vietnam (a 3 day Ha Long Bay bay cruise was a highlight of my life), and some Laotian adventures in between. Ask and I shall provide, when I get enough free time.
I'm passionate about Asia, and planning a sustainable move there by the end of 2015, as I feel it's one of the parts of the world where women are still women who actually push themselves to look pretty and feminine, and men are free to be independent or settle down, their choice. Not urged by land-whale feminists with the sex appeal of an avacado, who at every turn on social media outlets, shame men to settle down, "man up" and pedestalize some princess who's going to gain two pounds a year for the next decade. I'm a decent enough writer, and I plan on creating my own type of blog, opening western guys' minds to the possibilities abroad.
Another thanks to you all, as men like the RSD crew (Tyler/Julien and company), Roosh, and others have opened my eyes to another style of living, a different path in life, than that of the brainwashed masses.
I plan my move in October and I hope to pimp it with some of you fellas in the future. In Asia, and maybe elsewhere if I'm fortunate enough in my finances - Latin America, Central Asia, Eastern Europe all intrigue me....
