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.........

Grizzlied, skin like leather, seen it all, done whatever, settled and comfortable in the Phnom Penh night......

Phnom Penh Nightclub

Phnom Penh Niteclub - Chris Coles

Off-duty police and army guys watch the doors and parking......inside Expats young and old, fat and slim, handsome and ugly, some with jobs, some with NGO's, some on the loose, a few of the entitled children of Phnom Penh's "Big Men", and plenty of Khmer girls, fresh from the countryside...
