Next stop: Phnom Penh

The 69 Bar, St. 136, Phnom Penh. No conventional go-gos, bikinis etc. are allowed in Cambodia, but that doesn't stop the girls from jumping up on the counter and shaking their booties for the price of a $2 drink. Photo by J. "Boogie Nights" Popham.
While at least several of our Angkor Wat running team seemed to approve of Mikey's Night Bar, the only even semi-sleazy place we managed to find in Siem Reap, nightlife in Phnom Penh was of course on a whole different level. Truly one of Asia's great bar towns. And if you want an excuse to go there, you have next year's Phnom Penh International Half Marathon. Inexplicably though, it's run in May, a month in Cambodia that makes Bangkok feel cool and comfortable by comparison.
