Hi everyone!
Getting ready for a trip to LOS in Late September/early October.
Been thinking of taking a side trip to Sihanoukville.
I've not seen much in the way of Gay nightlife there.
Gay massage venues?
Anyone been there recently?
Worth the trip?
Thanks.

I've never been there, but by the time you go, you can fly there from Bangkok if you wish.

Sihanoukville is a waste of time for anything gay. Has been taken over by Chinese and never was a gay destination :

I was probably last there 6~8 years ago. Some very nice beaches at that time. Almost no gay scene.
More recently, when visiting Phnom Penh in 2018, the locals complained that there were too many Chinese in Sihanoukville.
You are probably better off going to Phnom Penh for the gay scene and Siem Reap for the temples.

Phnom Penh does have a gay scene, for many years Blue Chili bar was the main venue but as time has passed a scene has developed on Valentino Street with the most popular place being ToolBox bar which has dance shows (not sex shows) and good looking and friendly staff.

Re: Trip to Sihanoukville?
Yes, as I said, PP does have a gay scene. The Tool Box dance shows were very good last December, although the main attraction is energetic dancing by fit & enthusiastic guys who at best will get topless. Proper males dancing.
For some reason which I cannot fathom, there were more people watching the drag show in Blue Chilli. I looked through the door & decided it wasn't for me.

Re: Trip to Sihanoukville?
Thanks so much everyone!
Looks like I may just give S'ville a pass this time.
Still working on my itinerary but definitely plan to be in Pattaya for a few days.
Looking forward to it!!!
All the best and thanks again.
