Phnom Penh Night Market

There are quite many markets in Phnom Penh but the night market Phsar Reatrey (Phnom Penh night market) that located on Preah Sisowath Quay Street on the bank of Tonle Sap River, about a kilometer north of Royal Palace, is for sure a typical one that offers you an enjoyable visiting experience. This is an open-air market that converted from a street garden with a fresh and cool atmosphere and is a popular place among locals and foreign tourists.

The night market Phnom Penh is opened on the weekend (Friday to Sunday) from 05.00 PM to midnight. There are vast arrays of shops and stalls that offer a wide range of goods from locally made T-shirts, clothes of different brands with misspelled names, shoes, accessories, food, flowers, as well as a large number of handicrafts and jewelry items.

In the center of the market is a stage where local bands play live local pop music and dances, Khmer love songs as well as rap and Kpop. It is loud and exciting here.

At the back of the stage is a chain of food stalls that serve local foods and grills of all kinds from fermented tofu, sausages, and vegetable to chicken and seafood. It is nice to join with local families and groups sitting on mats right on the open ground and enjoy the relaxing experience in this typical local market.

Except for food with menu and price listed, it is the norm when you come to this kind of market and trying to make a purchase: bargaining. This makes the deal more interesting in a local way and helps to get the deal a fair price. Also, as it is a crowded and noisy place, do not forget to keep yourself vigilant about keeping well your belongings.

With its convenient location, the market is very easy to find. From the city center point, just walk up along the riverfront and you will see it. After visiting the market, there is a great chain of bars, cafes, restaurants, and so on along the Preah Sisowath Quay Street down to the center where you can enjoy your evening.
