Gay activities Feb2021

Gay activities Feb2021

Online dating good encounters in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but not much luck in the provinces. 

Mon1feb2021 PNH to Kampong Cham
Bus from Phnom Penh to Kampong Cham. Online dating not much activity. In public park along river, a boy chats me up, okay English, is he hitting on me? “Why do you come to Cambodia?” – “I like temples, mountains, forest.” – “And what else?”. We exchange Line, but haven’t heard from him since.

Tue2feb2021 Kampong Cham
On blued chat about 9:30-10:00 with and finally meet Chiset. He is very shy and we have a cat-and-mouse game (i.e. he tells me where to meet, but when I’m there he has gone somewhere else and asks me to go to meet him there). Finally we meet, he stays on his on mocy with helmet and mask on, I am standing 10 m away on the sidewalk, and we communicate by texting on blued! I give up and go to my hotel, and message him to follow me if he wants to meet. I’m not going anywhere else to meet him, if he wants to meet he has to come to my room. For me the case is closed. But he continues messaging me and wants me to come and meet me outside, then video calls me from his room (naked wanking). He sends his location on blued, but I cannot zoom in. Finally I cut it: “You are too difficult. I don’t want to meet you any more.”

Wed3feb2021 Kampong Cham
I have so many in Phnom Penh, and little choice here, and after the waste of time yesterday, I give up.

Thu4feb2021 Kampong Cham
Out for sightseeing all day, details here.

Fri5feb2021 Kampong Cham to Phnom Penh
Bus to Phnom Penh and check into a Guesthouse in street 111 where I stayed before because there is a cute receptionist Ka who speaks good English.

Meet two foreign friends for BBQ dinner. One of them knows a gay-ish bar nearby (Teddy Bear Restaurant street 460) and indeed interesting customer base and one cute staff.

Back to my hotel. AhLy211 from blued (poor English, we have been chatting for 2 months, not a clear hit) is nearby and comes here, meet 23:25 on road. To my room. Massages my back, feels great! But long fingernails, I can sometimes feel them. Ahly takes shower, quickly to bed. Good activities, but average face, body, hairy butt crack and balls and bushy pubes. Afterwards ask him for another back massage. He does not work in massage. It’s late, will he stay over night? I hope not! Google translate: “Do you give me back?” – “Yes.” – “I have no money to go home and my mother is sick.” Give him 10 USD for his sick mother and 10k KHR for passapp. No character flaws and good activities, but not so much my type and no English. No repeat. Bye 00:56 in my room.

Sat6feb2021 Phnom Penh
Hatha Khmer Massage open, Love Spa side entrance open.

Hatha Khmer Spa entry 3.50 USD, stay 16:40-18:37. One shapely boy, but wears facemask throughout. When he sits next to and chats with an old man, I sit next to him and put my hand on his knee: cold and body hair, and he is not interested. The old man has a monthly pass for 60 USD, says the boy likes Asian.

The cute night receptionist Ka is there, I buy a drink from fridge at reception to chat him up. Show him pictures of my travel and ask about his life. He lives with a friend 10 min by mocy away. He likes girls and has a girlfriend for 3 years already. I tell him if he ever wants to try boy he can tell me.

Mon8feb2021 Phnom Penh
Ratanak sauna, details here:
https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2021/02/gay-saunas-in-cambodia-2021.html

Another drink from fridge at reception to chat with Ka. Try to get his contact information, but he has no facebook or Line. Say goodbye. I have done all my business in that area, and don’t know how to proceed with him, move to another place that is both cheaper and better.

Wed10feb2021
Phnom Penh
Donald comes at night and stays over night.

Thu11feb2021
Phnom Penh
To Donald’s place for Chinese New Year’s Eve lunch. Bookshelf with books in his room! Then watch movie and go for shopping in Makro.

Donald says he likes my hands, they are so soft. A German friend in Pattaya years ago called my hands “wanker’s hands” and said my hands look like I never worked with them. That's not true, but I work more with my brain than with my hands. I rather call my hands "piano player's hands" or "surgeon's hands". I'm neither a piano player nor a surgeon, but you get the idea.

Fri12feb2021 Phnom Penh Chinese New Year
Meet Alex from blued at Royal Palace 10:11. No English, but fluent in Thai so we do all chat in Thai. He came with a friend by mocy, his friend will wait. We go to my room, I take a shower (in preparation for sex). When I’m almost done, he says goodbye 10:24 to go back to his friend at riverside. Then read on blued: he does not sell his body. But he will come back later for chat when his friend is home. No show. (Will meet again on 14feb.)

K comes to my room. During hugging for hello, fully dressed, he whispers in my ear: “Can I have some money?” so I give him 10 USD. We have a good time as before.

Set up a date with Nomo from gayromeo. I wait for him at coffee shop 20:05-35, no show and no message, then back to room. Finally 20:57 reply, he had run out of data on his phone and had to get WiFi password to contact me and he is here now. First impression soso. Smell of cigarette. To room, interesting conversation, spent three months in Germany and knows a bit of German. His ex-boyfriend was German but was overly jealous. To bed, lights off on his request. Activities soso. Afterwards light on: a hint of chest hair and extensive pubes. Some poor quality tattoos done by a friend for free when he was young, now seems to regret. Give him 10 USD to cover travel expenses (4 USD each way for 1.5 km distance on gayromeo? But I don’t question him). No repeat.

Meet a German friend in bar area in Pasteur street. In Golden Sorya Mall there are only few Whites, between 50 and 100 Blacks and about 100 Khmer.

Sat13feb2021 Phnom Penh
Donald comes to my room and stays over night.

Sun14feb2021 Phnom Penh Valentine’s Day
We have a good time in the morning and he gives me a great back massage (several boys gave me great back massages, better than in massage parlors).

Mon15feb2021 Phnom Penh
Chat with Jamie:
CPFC
 "When can we meet?"
Jamie 12:24 “Maybe 3?”
CPFC 15:01 “I’m out now. Back at 4.”
Jamie 16:17 “Ok”
Jamie 16:30 "Just let me know"
Jamie 16:42 "You back?"
CPFC 16:45 "I'm back. Sorry too late now."
Jamie 16:45 "Why?
CPFC 16:58 "I meet friend for dinner"
Filed as missed
. I was back an hour later than expected, but even if I had been back at 3, he wouldn't have read my message until 16:17.

Meet Alex again after his quick departure on 12feb2021. Now we get to the truth: he was afraid I would rape him! To my room. I take shower and tell him not to disappear again. Alex refuses to shower and keeps clothes on. Lies in my bed and watches “Oggy and the Cockroaches Special compilation # 97” on youtube on his phone, I get a hand under his shirt (but he objects when I try to get my hands in his pants). I have enough data (not brown enough, no clear muscle abs or pecs, a bit on the hairy side, talks too much) for a clear decision that this case is not worth pursuing.

After spending half an hour this way, takes off his shirt, has a look and a grope at my penis (information asymmetry to his favor; he is still dressed in underwear and trouser) and I can feel through his trousers that he is hard. I open button and zipper: underwear wet spot from pre-cum. Takes shower and comes back in towel. More hugging and groping. Cold wet feet. Yuck! Far too much body hair! Butt cheeks and upper inner thighs hairless, but butt-crack, balls, lower shaft of penis lost for my purposes. He is very talented at oral, but body not my type, no repeat.

In parallel, I had a date with Mai from grindr for 10 pm, but my message from 9 pm still not read, file as no show. Around 11 pm I get a reply: he was working overtime and can meet now. But I had enough sex today and my rule “no sex after midnight” applies here, so I postpone him for tomorrow.

Tue16feb2021 Phnom Penh
Mai comes at night, we have a good time and he stays over night.

Wed17feb2021
Phnom Penh
Mai asks for money for taxi to go home so I give him 10 USD.

Jane arrives 11:34 (appointment was 12!), and we have a good time in bed. 20 USD Jane for CNY and his trip home. We leave my room about 17, to temple to play with cats and dogs. Jane bye 18:19 on road. Spent over 6 hours with Jane, mostly hugging and resting in bed. But I should have done some studying instead!

Thu18feb2021 Phnom Penh
Dara110 arrives 13:47, we go to my room and have a good time. Then 3 pm he tells me has to go back home. Bye 15:11 in my room. BFC2in2021.

Perfect: boys comes to my hotel, we spend 1 hour foreplay-cum-post-coital cuddling, boy goes home and I can continue reading, studying, sightseeing, going for a meal or meeting someone else.

Contrast to Jane who stayed with me yesterday over 6 hours because he has nothing else to do and no interests, and would stay ever longer. When I meet him, I always need a plan how to get rid of him.

Meet Ladyboy Bie from hornet at coffee shop, then walk to riverside and sit for a chat. Ladyboy is not my sexual interest, but she was nearby and I had nothing else to do, and she told me she is a porn actor which raised my interest. However it turns out she would like to be a porn actor and has no artwork to show yet. Good English, but chat was awkward. Bie tells me about muscle boys at Space Hair. I have to investigate this! I would have taken her to my room out of curiosity (slim body, brown skin), but she said she will go home after meeting me.

At riverside a woman (later turned out to be ladyboy) Nana approaches me and says she saw me on online dating (and indeed later I recognize her profile). Not my type (too old, long hair), but she works as hairdresser and I’m due for a haircut anyway so I will see her at work soon.

Space Hair pass 22:00. Several customers, three dogs, dachshund cute, pet him (customers says the dogs are the owner’s). Four boys dressed greek/roman antique shirtless with cape/cloak, but no cute.

Former POC (Pride of Cambodia), then Freedom Bar and Paradise Massage street 15 both closed permanently. Picture from 23apr2021:


Fri19feb2021 Phnom Penh
Haircut with Nana at her workplace. Good English and general good impression. Will take up her offer for massage in her room some day.

At night, meet a German friend V for bar hopping. He is here for the girls (and the occasional ladyboy). His experiences with Khmer girls are similar as with Thai girls. Before we met, he had the following experience:

He saw a cute girl standing on the bridge (Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge) and weeping, so he stopped to cheer her up and invite her for dinner. No English, so all conversation was with google translate. After a lot of to and fro it turns out she owns someone on the other side of the river (Tonle Sap river). He offers her 15 USD to go to his room for fun. She said she would like to, but she needs 20 USD now and will go to see him tomorrow. He realizes he is wasting his time and gives up.

Toolbox 22:30-00:16 with V. Show starts 22:43 with an audience of 15, some of them staff? Muscle boys 23:07-10 (two look fine, one fat). Show all 7 boys 00:10-14. Music level fine for chat, smoking allowed but no problem.

Heart of Darkness 00:20-28 with V. Not busy, customers ratio men to women about 4:1.

Pontoon (V’s idea) not busy 1:00. Spot the cute boy who walked past me when I had dinner and looked at each other (?) opposite Pontoon at Bar for Africans. Chat him up, he is deaf and no English.

Heart of Darkness again 01:30-37 not busy. Several staff from Toolbox. Bye to V 01:54 and go home.

Sat20feb2021 Phnom Penh
Meet Phirom again, okay as last time.

Sun21feb2021 Phnom Penh
Meet German friend V in Phnom Penh Sports Club (16:53-18:42, entry 5 USD). Sauna is heated from circulating hot liquid (what exactly?), not electrical. Two blacks (old, fat). One slim boy fully dressed in gym, some bordercases. Not very busy. 

From two visits I can generalize that there is no gay cruising at all, and no eye candy either.

On way home, have a look in Aroma Massage in street 408. Inquire about prices: 1 h oil massage 10 USD, tip for boy 20 USD. Manager English okay. No business card. Have a look at boys (behind glass wall and curtain, manager tells them to get ready and then opens curtain, about 12 boys all fully dressed, #18 cute and slim).

Dinner at a restaurant to meet a boy SRtop from blued who works there. General impression and chat okay, but if I hadn’t gone there to meet him, I would not have noticed him.

Mon22feb2021
Phnom Penh to Siem Reap
Bus to Siem Reap. Observations about gay venues posted separately:
https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2021/03/gay-venues-in-siem-reap-2021.html

Tue23feb2021 Siem Reap
Nit arrives on time 13:56 (date was 14). To my room, he gets to business quick. Smells of alcohol and a hint cigarette? Brown skin, body okay (no sixpack, no abs), gets a bit wet. Activities good (sucks, would want to get fucked), nipple play okay, I avoid kissing. Balls so-so, pubic hair okay. He gets hard slowly and cums by wanking on my back. Has his phone on with porn with Whites throughout our encounter. No repeat from my side, but he wants to meet again.

LyHeng from blued wrote that he is money boy, but we didn’t get into numbers. Comes to my hotel, to my room, small talk (English okay), to bed (wants all lights off, but I leave some on). Brown warm dry skin, nice body, sixpack only when tensing. A bit hair on balls and extensive pubes. Average cock and balls. Activities okay, but his body shape and skin color is a turn-on for me. Afterwards ask him for back massage, good! Repeat soon! Give him 20 USD.

Wed24feb2021 Siem Reap 
Out for sightseeing in
Kulen NP all day. 

Thu25feb2021 Siem Reap
Ratha comes to my hotel and we have a good time. At goodbye there is a slight hesitation on his side, and just after he is out, he messages me on Line: can I have some money for rent and food? I message him to come back and give him 20 USD.

Fri26feb2021 Siem Reap
Meet LyHeng again, during daytime so we don’t have the issue with light (he wants lights off, I want lights on). Foreplay soso, but from previous encounter I know he is bottom so I’m mentally prepared to fuck him, and I have a great time. It seem he has an even better time! Despite aircon, he gets sweaty. I like warm and dry skin better, but licking the sweat off his brown, muscular body is a close second. At the end, there was a pool of sweat in the depression on his back. Delicious! Ask him for back massage, as good as last time. 20 USD well deserved! See you again next time! 


Sun28feb2021 Siem Reap
When I was in Siem Reap in Dec2020, a boy Pich messaged me multiple times from different gay dating apps. Now the same. I don’t like his profile pictures, but when I mentally un-process it, I estimate he has an average face, so let's give him a chance.

Pich arrives by bicycle (the first time I had a date arrive on bicycle). Face okay, slim body. To my room, poor English, online translation. “What do you want to do?” – “Whatever.” Touch his body and take off his shirt. Nice body, no body hair, no tattoos, warm dry skin. Hug him, kiss his neck and body, little response. To bed, he doesn’t kiss or suck, neither do I. Average size cock, pubic hair okay, some hair on balls and ass. Some anal warts. Nipple play okay. He isn’t hard, but some pre-cum. Skin warm dry throughout. I can’t figure him out. We have soso sex. Bye in my room.

I wonder what he had in mind or what he didn’t like or what went wrong, but at least I can close this case. But for every closed case, two new open! But then message: miss you, want to meet again.

Let’s file him as “lazy bottom”, who just wants me to “fuck the shit out of him” (a friend CKD), or to “ride him like a pony” (latintopxxx on sawatdeenetwork), or “fuck him so hard that his dental fillings fall out” (my invention), no foreplay, no romantic?

Dating Thai boys (86) Covid thwarts my plans

Dating Thai boys (86) Covid thwarts my plans

I guess all of my readers had their plans thwarted by Covid, but his post is about my dating plans in Phnom Penh thwarted by the 20 February event. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50823790/escape-from-sokha-hotel-the-expose-to-the-possible-cause-of-feb-20-incident/ New boys and boys I have met before can't meet because they are afraid of Covid.







They are all Khmer, but filed under "Dating Thai boys" because this could have happened anywhere in SEAsia.
And indeed, in 2014 I had a similar situation in Thailand:
https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/01/dating-thai-boys-x-mob-thwarts-my-plans.html
I wouldn't let a pandemic or civil unrest get between me and a boy. Fortunately, I know some more in Phnom Penh who are not afraid to meet.

One of my favorites who used to stay over night every week couldn't meet for two weeks, and I was afraid there was some issue. But then it turned out he cannot come to my place because his employer forbade him social interactions, i.e. he can only be at home or at work but not go anywhere else. But I can go to his place, and so I did yesterday. We watched a movie (naked in bed, hugging), had some fun, watched another movie, he invited me for dinner and I went home. Not too bad!

Gay venues in Siem Reap 2021

Gay venues in Siem Reap 2021

A complete list of gay venues in Siem Reap that are of interest to me (i
.e. places where you can meet, or at least look at, local boys): bars, saunas, massage (but not hotels or restaurants or barber). Based on a visit 22-28feb2021.

Bars:
Barcode
Heaven and Dreamboys
Linga Barl
(sic!)
Look@Me (recently openend)
Massage:
D.Y Massage
Gekko Massage
Man Spa Massage 168
Sauna:
MEN's Resort & Spa
 

Barcode
Fri26feb2021 mango juice 3USD. This was the first time I had to scan QR code with my phone to connect to stopcovid.gov.kh to register as a customer at a venue for contact tracing. When I arrive 21:57, 6 customers, show in progress (ladyboy). Too much singing/dancing/drag/ladyboy and too little skin, too few boys, no underwear. Leave 22:39, about 20 customers.

Pub street 22:45 estimated 100 customers in the venues that are open.

Heaven and Dream Boys
A bit out of town center, from Pub Street 15 min walk, that’s why I gave it a miss on all previous trips to Siem Reap. But judging by their pictures, they have the highest number of boys and the largest area of skin during show in all Cambodia!

Sat27feb2021 Call Heaven and Dream Boys: a female voice answers, but no English, hangs up. Call again: no connection.

Walk there nonetheless, not operating but door open and lights on. Among 5 staff one speaks English, they closed recently (for heavy construction work on road or Covid?), get his phone number to call before going next time I'm in Siem Reap.

Linga Barl
(not on google maps, 20 m West of Heaven and Dreamboys)
Linga Barl
 (is it upper i = I, or lower L = l, or Roman number 1?) is open and at least one customer inside and one cute boy (but ugly red lips tattoo on neck, and hairy upper legs). They had a show on Friday with ladyboys (not what I’m looking for, but at least I have some intel).



Look@Me
Newest gay bar in Siem Reap, opened just weeks ago.
Fruit juice 1 USD, at such prices I can have two! Not many customers.


D.Y Massage
(not on
 google maps, 10 m East of Look@Me) Several massage boys, some look gay, but none my type. On gay online dating chat with a boy who works there.

Gekko Massage
(on google maps
Gekko Nail Art and Massage) More male than female staff every time I pass, but no confirmation that it's a gay venue.


Man Spa Massage 168
Sat27feb2021
20:48 there are 5 boys and manager, none of them cute or slim. Pictures here https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2021/01/gay-activities-dec-2020-cambodia.html

Sewer construction
Most roads in Siem Reap are dug open for new sewer construction. See here as well: https://cne.wtf/2021/03/17/siem-reap-residents-illegally-connecting-sewers-to-new-network/

Main road at entrance to night market:


 
Picture from the other side of road at night, with most businesses closed and little street lighting, it's pretty dark:

https://www.facebook.com/100058002490685/posts/187139613229454/

Other websites about gay Siem Reap
They all focus on gay or gay-friendly hotels and restaurants, which are non-issues for me. E.g.
https://www.travelgay.com/destination/gay-cambodia/gay-siem-reap/
https://www.thegaypassport.com/gay-siem-reap/
https://nomadicboys.com/guide-siem-reap-gay-bars/
This one manages not to mention a single gay bar or sauna https://www.wolfyy.com/travel-guide-gay-siem-reap/ but covers this up by providing general information.
Even the printed The Cambodia Gay Guide Siem Reap Battambang 2019/20 No04 is not comprehensive.

Linga Bar gone 2017
Linga Bar permanently closed in 2017 https://www.facebook.com/linganow/ I walked past when it was open, but no pictorial proof and I never was a customer.

Riverqueen guesthouse sold 2016
I never stayed there, but followed the owner's blog that is now offline, but can be read on archive and his goodbye message is an interesting read: https://web.archive.org/web/20170630014130/http://riverqueencambodia.blogspot.com/2016/06/darling-viewers-its-been-best-of-times.html

The place is now The '84 Hotel Siem Reap, and here as well construction work on road:

Quiz: What is this?

Quiz: What is this?

Recently seen in Cambodia in a plantation and on a market.




Solution in a week. There is no prize. 

Solution/update: cashew nuts and cashew apple. Only after leaving Kampong Thom, I read on wikipedia which says that the cashew apple is soft and deteriorates quickly during transport, that's why I haven't seen any elsewhere, only here close to plantation. It's edible, and two well-travelled friend have eaten it, but I missed this chance!

Update: Some more in Kampot, and here I ate them and they taste good.

Kampong Cham attractions

Kampong Cham attractions

The main reasons for me to travel to Kampong Cham was the bamboo bridge. It is constructed every year in dry season and washed away in rainy season. Not visible in current google satellite image (taken during rainy season), but a friend was there a week ago and saw the bridge.

Kampong Cham is 120 km by road or 75 km by air North-East of Phnom Penh and easily accessible by bus. For more information see here: http://www.asienreisender.de/kampongcham.html

1. Bamboo bridge
2. Kizuna bridge
3. Old French lighthouse
4. Nokor Bachey Pagoda
5. Phnom Bros Pagoda and Library
6. Phnom Srei
7. Mayflies


1. Bamboo bridge
Connects Kampong Cham from near Dei Koh Pagoda to Koh Pich, an island in the Mekong. There is a permanent (concrete, for cars) bridge as well. The length of bamboo bridge probably varies from year to year, I measured 590 m on google maps. About in the middle is an elevated part to allow boats to pass. Picture from elevation:

The Khmer script says: Khmer can do (translation by a friend).

View of entire bridge at dusk, lights on Koh Pich from bars:

2. Kizuna bridge
The first bridge in Cambodia to cross the Mekong (2001). Is on 500 Riel banknote. Kizuna bridge seen from Old French lighthouse:

3. Old French lighthouse
On the eastern side of Kizuna bridge. Inside are stairs to climb up.



4. Nokor Bachey Pagoda
About 2 km West out of town, West of highway 7. A contemporary temple on the grounds of Angkorian ruins.



5. Phnom Bros Pagoda and Library
About 6 km North-West out of town North of highway 7.





6. Phnom Srei
About 500 m East of Phnom Bros. On a hill 114 m high with a Naga stairway of and 217 steps (confirmed). View down the stairway, Phnom Bros Pagoda in background:


7. Mayflies
By chance, I came upon an invasion of mayflies attracted by lights at night. Different from flying termites Malaeng Mao that I have come across in Thailand.


Piling up in front of a light. The blue plastic is a cap of a plastic bottle that I put there to show that it's a heap of insects:

Elsewhere the following day:

Update places I missed: Hanchey Temple (too far away), various temples on the shore of Mekong that are being swallowed by the water (info from friend, but no exact location and too far), construction site of new Mekong crossing bridge 12.2687,105.5532.
