Phsar Chas (Old Market)
Of Siem Reap’s two oldest traditional markets (Phsar Leu and Phsar
Chas,) the Old Market is the most popular with visitors, located in the center
of town and almost half the market focusing on souvenirs, silks and such. The
streets surrounding the market are filled with restaurants, bars and shops and
the nearby Pub Street
is the entertainment hub of Siem Reap. Located on the river road, the Old
Market have dozens of souvenir stalls offering a wide range of souvenir of every
kind (especially on the riverside) and a number of food stall on the street 9
side. Much of the market is geared more for the locals selling fruits,
vegetables, meats, cloths, etc.
Phsar Leu Thom Thmey
Phsar Leu is the main traditional market for the locals, set just
outside the main town area – an expansive market building full of vendors and
stalls hawking everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to motorcycle parts,
clothing and rice by the bushel. Not a place to shop for souvenir but instead
to see a bit of real Cambodian right in close to town. Opens and closed with
the sun. Busiest in the morning.
