Svay Pak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Svay Pak is a red light district located about 11km north of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Also known as K11.

It is famous, starting in the early 1990s, for child prostitution.

Despite claims that child prostitution has been shut down in Svay Pak, Dateline NBC has made several trips there as reported by NBC and MSNBC in the 2000s and has proved that child prostitution is still rampant in Svay Pak, reports include footage of alleged child prostitutes. The story resulted in an undercover sting and several arrests but many pimps did not cooperate with undercover cops and Svay Pak still exists.
