Bargirl in Phnom Penh Night

Bargirl in the Phnom Penh Night - Chris Coles

Usually from one of Cambodia's rural provinces, usually with at least one son or daughter, unlikely to have gone to school more than 6 years, the ex-husband or boyfriend AWOL, her mother and father subsistence farmers scratching out a few hundred dollars a year.......it all comes down to her, sitting alone in the Phnom Penh Expat bar, hoping to somehow find a way out.........

Phnom Penh Pool

Phnom Penh Pool - Chris Coles

There's a pool table in almost every Phnom Penh bar....slow, drifting games, music, plenty of beer, idle Expat chatter and always a couple of girls.......
