Living in Cambodia and turning Pro - Page 193

. Looking for somewhere to go for 2 or 3 months before I go home for Christmas and would prefer somewhere new. I checked out some google images and it seems like my kind of place.

Snooky

I hope you have a girlfriend, because the local girls in Sihanoukville are not very attractive

Disaster, you are expected to bring your own women to Snooky. Where do the hotties hide or are you saying Cambo chicks are not so nice?

Whats nightlife like there though, does it go on all night or everywhere shut down like 3-4? I grind nights so like to go out fairly late.

Nah but will swing by Siem Riep and Phnom Pehn if I decide to go Snooky which seems very likely.

I find big citys to claustrophobic and smoggy especially in Asia much better to be by the sea. If you stay in a city and have a swimming pool its not to bad but its only ever going to be the same people going to the pool but anyone can go to the beach so its always different and more fun.

air quality is definitely good in snooky

i didnt find phnom penh to jam packed it was pretty open and laid back i thought, moreso than angeles/manila/bangkok

problems with snooky are power outages, not a lot of hot girls/not many girls overall, far from any good hospitals if something bad happens you could be in a bad spot

with hotels/transportation being so cheap you might as well spend a week in both before picking one

You guys are also forgetting (or dont know) that Breena is a backpacker and will be chilling on the beach talking about shroom shakes and happy pizzas with all the other hippies.

Then it is perfect! Beers are $1 at day time, so you can adjust your budget accordingly. But what about Nha Trang(Vietnam), it is a bigger city but it also got a nice beach and nicer beaches around. And Vietnamese girls are hotter

Plenty of Vietnamese hookers in Cambodia, and they are a lot cheaper there than actually in Vietnam :P

My friends had all said Snooky was a dust bowl with an annoying red dust everywhere? Put me off it a bit. Is it ok?

I would class myself more as an Executive business traveler nowadays since I stay in houses/appartments and condos and travel with a suitcase. Also I dont have dreadlocks and shower at least two times a day.

breena you could prob smash backpackers with no real problem anyway. but a few months ago snooky had a water shortage as as a result 4-5 bars/hotels got set on fire and they didnt have water to put it out.

It is. Believe me, Snooky is bar far overrated. There is quite a few better beaches to explore, but unfortunately not in Cambodia.

Cheap hookers and beer.

I think it's the video that's **** rather than Snooky. Standing 100m away filming a nightclub at 8pm isn't a good way to document anything. After about 3 minutes in there is more interesting stuff, including fat white backpacker chicks trying to dance.
