Sisowath Quay Phnom Penh is the center of nightlife in town
Sisowath riverfront is the former Karl Marx Quay along the Tonle Sap a strange water body which flows sometimes up and also down wards. |

Lined by dozens of restaurants and people just hanging around. In the evening when the sun disappears a spectacle start, a couple of dozen people start dancing in the middle section just in front of the restaurants etc.

Why do I see "sooooo" many fat "sugar dumplings" and "fatty bum-bum" jumping around? Some have a bit of a problem to move the overgrown butts and bellies.

Since it’s cool in the evening people have a walk around, some lovers sit at the benches at the river banks and promise endless love, wonder how that last.
Other wander along the Tonle Sap waterfront and some guys try to pull foreigners into a discussion with the idea to ask for money. Some river vessels carry freight and passengers up and downstream and a double decker sightseeing boat move mid-river.

A couple of streets behind Sisowath Quay is the Central Market the bustling biggest market in the city, in the last couple of years a Tsunami of Chinese stuff settled on this market. This is a wet and dry market including gorgeous flowers, textiles, clothing, shoes, various jewelry items and more, also most buses to elsewhere in the country leave from nearby. It’s definitely worth a half day trip, the problem are only the streets around, they are in a real mess which is somehow amazing considering that this is the center of the capital of Cambodia.

Several other bars, clubs, lounges, restaurants
etc. are along the quay road. Walking down a bit to 136 street plus the small streets before and behind opens the real Phnom Penh nightlife with dozens of beer bars with pretty Cambodian girls waiting for something will happen, guess what they expect will happen. If you find a pretty lady pay some drinks and if a agreement is reached take her with you, there is usually now problems in the hotels, they just charge $ 10,- more per night. There is always something going on, maybe live music or a DJ make the sound, in almost every bar is a PC which can be used, usually the ladies play around mostly facebook. Noisy places because of plenty of girls, there are other bars and restaurants in between and some supermarkets a late shopping.
Further behind is the Central Market,
the actual center of the city but not open in the evening. Sisowath Quay is rather large boulevards with a wide walking area from street towards the water; in the early evening locals do some aerobics to get the body moving. This is the best place in town to enjoy an evening or night. Another positive subject is everything is relatively cheap, prices are somehow similar as at a bar or club at the Phuket nightlife scene or other places in Thailand or Myanmar nightlife. It’s compact and safe, also for foreign ladies since there are always people around and Cambodian people are usually nice people.
