Secrets in Cambodia a thing of the past?

Looks like Secrets in Cambodia is a thing of the past? It seems they've rebranded it into a gentleman's club Charlie Chans. As a pretty tuned in ex business owner had said it's an obvious business failure when they have to Rebrand. Otherwise why would they.?

Ben might be missing another trick. The way Phnom Penh and Snooky have gone over the last 15 years, I'm sure there's far more money to be made catering to the whims of the Chinese than there is in a bar for Cheap Charlie barangs.

Well Secrets Cambodias Facebook page is gone....

https://www.facebook.com/Secrets.Cambodia/

 

I would occasionally look at their facebook page in the past 1-2 years.....And one thing I will say is the Talent there has been in a steep steep decline after Covid.....Very far from the early days....And from the photos they posted on facebook Secrets never looked very busy...

 

Plus Cambodia seems to have lost its shine and buzz with the guys who use to go there.....

 

One of Cambodias strong selling points in the past  was its modest prices....

But around the time the Chinese were destroying Sihanoukville with Casinos.....The Chinese were also causing big price inflation in Cambodia including girl prices....

 

These  higher inflated prices seem to have stayed to this day....With the girls having ever increasing lofty expectations $$$  for their services....

 

Just look at the Cambodian section on PA.......Its as dead as a Dodo these days...Where as before it was pretty active...

 

All of the above had a effect on Secrets Cambodia........And not a good one....
