Sihanoukville Girls and Nightlife
This Cambodian Seatown knows how to party and there is absolutely no shortage of nightspots and girls in Sihanoukville.
The hard part is to find Cambodian girls who can speak English. Most girls speak only Khmer language, and that makes it hard to establish a conversation with the girls.
A good solution is to meet Cambodian girls on sites and apps they go to primarily looking for foreign men.
What is the point to visit the nightclubs in Sihanoukville when you can simply meet girls on a dating site?
Most foreign single men that visit this town, end up in a Chicken Farm. It is a dusty road with many brothels where girls are forced into prostitution.
Most of the girls can usually be seen at night when the red neon lights are lit to cover their ugliness, or should I say noticeable impurities. Not to mention most of them carry disease because of the poor hygienic conditions.
The Town Itself Doesn’t Offer Much To See But Beaches Are Beautiful
Another reason to visit Sihanoukville is the beaches. They are not as crowded as many of those in Thailand but can be cramped on weekends and holidays.
- Victory Beach, (south of the commercial port). Plenty of budget accommodation nearby on Weather Station Hill. This beach is close to the seaport.
- Independence Beach. Also known as ‘7-chann beach’ after the seven-storey Independence Hotel.
- Sokha Beach. owned by Sokha Beach Resort, it is private but you can access it by paying a couple dollars.
You won’t have many people begging or trying to sell you something here. - Ochheuteal Beach is a long and narrow strip of white sand beach located in Sangkat No3.The northern section has now become known as Serendipity Beach, a popular beach with western tourists, noted for small guesthouse rooms right on the beach.There are around 30 beach huts serving good value meals and a wide selection of drinks,. a golf-course development at the southern end, and a cluster of mid-range hotels and restaurants near the MP base in the middle.Grass umbrellas, rentable beach chairs and little drink huts line the beach from one end to the other. Les Feuilles), within walking distance of the hotels.
Further south along the beach in front of the golf course development, a number of budget traveler/backpacker oriented bar/restaurant/beach hangouts have sprung up offering chairs, umbrellas, drinks and a chill-out atmosphere.
Expect noise and exhaust fumes though from the numerous 2stroke jet skis in the area. Swimming can be dangerous and several tourists have been killed by jet skis.
- Serendipity Beach. Guesthouses and bar/restaurants right on the beach, open until the early hours. This beach seems to be the most popular and typically has the greatest number of people on the beach. Serendipity Beach is connected to Ochheuteal beach.
