Much of Phnom Penn is pretty seedy and at times depressing with its array of hostess bars which are visible in vast areas of the city. It is also not uncommon to see old foreigners with young working girls. There is still sadly a problem with paedophilia in Cambodia, and in some areas (especially on the outskirts of the city) this practice is very common. Many NGO’s and locals are trying to stamp out this problem - if you see anything untoward phone the Unicef Child sex line on (023) 720 555.
