4 Best Shopping in Cambodia

Psar Thmei, popularly known as Central Market, is a 1930s art-deco-style structure in the center of the city that sells foodstuffs, household goods, fake antiques, and some silver and gold jewelry. You're expected to bargain—start off by offering half the named price and you'll probably end up paying about 70%. Take your time to find what you want, as the vendors can sometimes be a little pushy. It's busiest in the morning.

This lively riverfront market attracts locals and tourists alike for basic clothing, traditional handmade souvenirs, accessories, and gift shopping until midnight. Several stands sell freshly made local dishes as well as drinks like sugarcane and bean juices, and there is a large sitting area covered in rattan mats.

Perfect for last-minute souvenir shopping, you'll find just about everything here, from clothing to traditional woodcrafts, fabrics, and ceramic home-style items, kitschy souvenirs, attractive silverware, and local foods.

A popular location for discovering some of the best bargains in town, the Psar Tuol Tom Pong, or Russian Market (it was named after the Russian diplomats who used to shop here in the 1980s), sells a huge variety of Cambodian handicrafts, local krama scarves, Khmer wood carvings, baskets, and much more. Located in a trendy district, there's plenty of options for dinner and drinks once you finish your shopping.
