I like it and agree on the sand thing, especially if you bring a hot little Thai that isn't shy. Every time I was out on the beach the only women in proper bathing attire were foreign. great read dude! Snooky is a welcome retreat from the arm pit that is PP?

Just beware of the Tuktuk drivers who quote a fare but forget to tell you it is "per person". I usually suggested something involving sex and travel and would walk off only paying the originally quoted price. Having been in Cambodia recently, I confirm the $10 short time prices.

It's funny, when you mentioned that you'd be making the trip to Cambodia, there were a bunch of comments pleading with you to write a trip report. You do so, in great detail, and people complain... It does sound like you visited at the worst possible time of year, but it's not like anyone warned you. Thanks to your submission, anyone who's read it will at least know not to take a Songkran break in Cambodia! Sterling work, with a bunch of helpful info - I'll be taking a Holiday in Cambodia myself fairly soon, and look forward to putting your info to good use. Cheers! Thanks Ghost.

A five-part trip report may have been a bit too much. Due to Songkran, it certainly was not as exciting or titilating as it could have been. And the Bad Boy certainly is funnier with similar material. But, despite a comment in Part 4 about it actually being "boring", I viewed this opus as a guide for the uninitiated. There's some info on Phnom Penh, but very little on things off the beaten track of Sharky's/Walkabout/Heart of Darkness. The fact I had to resort to a print guide in PP to find out what to do says a lot about the sorry state of info online. That was even more true with Snooky, which has very little P4P info online and what there is is not current. My hope is someone planning a trip to Cambo can print out the stories here and use them as a guide, as some did last year with my Pattaya stuff. Along that vein, John Brown, that is why prices are in the story. Refer back to Part 1 and look at the comments. The very first question asked in those comments is "how much was it for that girl." This is a blog dominated by P4P. Most people have not been to Cambo and want to know what they will be expected pay, especially in camparison to Thailand. $10 (340 baht) short time is fucking great (pun intended). To get 6-pops longtime for 700 baht is out of the this world. Yes, I was on a budget but even if I wasn't, I'd still work hard to be sure I'm not paying any more than I needed to. (Oh, so I guess I AM cheap!). Value for money folks. That's what I'm after. As for the final couple days by the sea, Sofia was a lot of fun, Golden Shower non-withstanding. It made for great teasing material the second night. She was pretty humbled and was that helped to soften her hardcore shell a bit more. (Poodle, it was a first incident of that type for me.) If in Snooky, look her up. Four stars. Just make sure she takes a piss before sleeping. Hi guys,
