  Comments from Utopians:

  "This is probably the best place to enjoy a quality massage by men for men in Phnom Penh. The facilities are tastefully decorated in a traditional Cambodian style. The rooms are very clean with private showers. There was a good selection of massuers (around 20 when I went). There is a large outdoor garden to relax after your massage." -- Jonn, Nov 1, 2009

  "I tried this venue for a massage and it was excellent. Very clean, very friendly staff, excellent massage." -- johnb66, Sep 28, 2009

  "Hatha Khmer has male masseurs who give uniformly excellent service. Massages run US$10/hour. Many masseurs don't speak much English, but then you aren't there to talk." -- qafphnompenh, Jun 25, 2009

• Men Show Massage
  #11 Street 59, Utopia Map, 016-628-080, 011-722-700. Hybrid concept of men's massage (24-hour service) and gay show bar (after 10pm). You can choose your masseur. A variety of massage styles and spa services on offer. Minimal English spoken. Inexpensive to start and pick up a "membership card" (business card offering an additional 20$ discount) at the bar.

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Men Show Massage had a good number of masseurs (about 20) when I went. It appeared to me that they place little importance on the massage skills. Their facilities were basic (private, curtain divided rooms) and they were clean. The staff were friendly." -- Jonn, Nov 1, 2009

• Om Traditional Massage (mixed)
  3E1 Street 278 (Golden St), Utopia Map, 023-217-136. Traditional Khmer massage by both masseurs and masseuses. In additional they offer Egyptian foot massage, Thai massage, back and shoulder massage, Indian head massage, aromatherapy, Thai herbal massage and deep tissue massage.
• Romantic
  See listing under Saunas.

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Romantic is popular as a sauna, but the massage services and facilties leave much to be desired. There were four masseurs to choose from when I visited on a Fri at 2pm. There's no privacy in the four curtain-partitioned spaces, which are all situated in one room. The (originally) white sheets and pillow cases were a greyish color. There was one other customer when I visited, who was placed right next to where I was having a massage. My masseur had basic massage skills and was friendly." -- Jonn, Nov 1, 2009

  Comments from Utopians:

  "I had a wonderful massage yesterday! I went to Blue 7 Khmer Massage at #413 Street 1 (opposite Hotel Cambodiana), 012-807-858, 016-507-968. I had a 20yo masseur and he was really great! Their services are cheap, too. Two hour oil massage costs 15$USD. But be sure to ask for a masseur because they have masseuses, too. Another tip. You can go to Hout Macau Barber Shop and Spa. It is located along Monivong (near the corner of Monivong and St 310). Ask for a masseur named Ravy. He is a barber there and can really give a good massage. Cost is US$8/hour. You will be massaged in a private room." -- MikoGarcia, Apr 4, 2009
