What makes the nightlife here enjoyable is how easy it is to get from place to place in this compact city. Most of the dusk-to-dawn nightspots are near the Tonle Sap riverside, along streets 240 and 51. A useful website for upcoming events and venue information is www.lengpleng.com, which is updated every Thursday or Friday. Keep your wits about you after dark in Phnom Penh—robberies are common, and although foreigners aren't specifically targeted, they are certainly not exempt from the rise in crime.
Located behind the National Museum, Blue Chilli is one of the most popular and longest-running gay bars in the city for locals and expats. They host entertaining drag shows and other performances throughout the week, as well as DJ sets that will keep you dancing until the early hours.
