The sauna has lots of stair and narrow passages, one must be careful entering various pools and jacuzzis. One large steam room upstairs with a pool is particularly hot and humid (and particularly full of young visitors 😀).

A bit pricey but their lakeview rooms have access without passing the reception. You can bring your guest in easily. Good gym and spa with steamroom (mostly empty). Hanoi gay P6 sauna - busy and friendly, very few spots to isolate yourself with your fresh sauna date.

This best sauna in Asia is soon opening some fancy hotel rooms next to the sauna. They said “December or beginning 2027”. The sauna continues to be great place including resident twinks (or welcome committee), who pray for farangs only. However there are other nice guys too. Paid massage is on offer, never tried. Some visiting hot eurotwink or twunks looked stressed and unsatisfied, I suspect many Asian hot twunks are “only into Asians”. This should be accepted without drama. In my opinion the sauna is worth “detour”, like the french tyre company used to promote canteens.

You can get everywhere in ATMs Riel, you can pay everywhere in usd. I actually liked usd more, i was not familiar with Riel notes and values. Currency exchange rate loss is minimal, but I think in one Chinese place I got wrong change in Riel. Bring one dollar notes too!

I just had webcall with my friend who is finalizing his BA studies. He said he and other students dont pay bribes for passing exams. He said he wouldn’t know how that could be done.

Jimmie50 I think you are now well informed on the general issues. If you want to continue deep five, German Konrad Adenauer Foundation is a reputable organisation and they have couple of fresh free downloadable reports on Cambodia, in English. https://www.kas.de/en/web/kambodscha/laenderberichte/detail/-/content/policy-brief-social-issues-in-cambodia Leave something to be explored locally and with Cam and his family!🙂 Despite the country situation people live their lives and have fun, what else they could do?

Hun Sen is a clever guy..he knew Western donors support him because alternative could be even worse like new civil war or totally collapsed state. The opposition leader was weak. As usually in those situations there are only bad choices. On a positive note, middle class is slowly growing. What I found interesting is that large part of the problem is general attitudes of the population which is incredibly passive to improve their lives. Vietnam is applying years modern agricultural techniques with high yields but Cambodian attitudes are very conservative and thus their productivity very low. Knowledge and help is available but ignored. I read somewhere they have now „pilot advanced agriculture areas“ which seems to address the issue.

German new year celebration include mad fireworks organized by individuals, which usually ends with couple of deaths and about 20 lose eye ear nose hand or finger. Couple of houses catch fire. It is still considered great fun among families and kids. Animals go mad too.

I remember from my visit to Teheran, that somewhere in the centre, potentially near city hall or theatre, there was very busy trans escort pickup place. Quite a characters were there!

When I asked my friend in Phnom Penh, an upper middle class student, about politics, a very friendly guy turned into a spitting 🐍 🙂. He refused to talk about that and never have I asked after. So I bought the books. Emotions aside, the country is kind of neofeudal, which I think is challenging if you come from the rule-of-law society. My friend is actually escapist in his mind, which I also understand. Young educated (education is relatively new thing there) suspect there are alternatives, but is it reachable? Country is led by half crazy old autocrat and his gang currently.

CC were accepted in hotels, 7/11 or alternatives and nicer food and drink establishments. I am sure in shopping centers too. One idea for your time in US. Read a few books about Cambodia, they will reveal some insights about the society. Realism is good when you plan to stay there longer and create (join) a family. Both books end with a hope that maybe the young generation could make Cambodia a better place. And indeed its a very youthful country. My young friend complained he has limited access to the older gay guys.

Maybe ask (cute) male nurses about your plans, especially those who have an experience.

Last year I met a student from Rwanda in China. He was tall educated and sexy guy. He said Rwanda is quiet and pleasant, very clean country. Showed me photos his family trekking etc.

If I would have dementia, I would insist my partner finds other activities then taking care of me, hopefully other relationship. I should be in some institution, sadly. I probably don’t recognise him, become mean, accuse him, walk away, play with my shit, etc. I am then mostly insane and should be broadly speaking tamed. This is all not nice and why would I wish that for a guy I love?
