Old Market

Live going to the market to get toys for the kids, maybe some lounge clothes, cigarettes, ect. Friendly faces, fun new things to see, skills to learn! We love going with the kids. Always have a great time with full smiles!

Well lot, really good clothing options, souvenirs, and artisanal products to buy. Bargaining is a must since their prices are flexible. There are certain accessories stores, and export reject sale stores for the brand enthusiasts which will give you good finish products for steal deals. Careful - you'll find yourself buying things and shopping (both men and women) and stopping only because you run out of money. Enough food stops to sustain you as well.

A good market to get anything and everything. Not as busy on a weekday but the shopkeepers can be pushy. Be firm with the price you willing to pay and make sure you haggling. Always half or less than half from what they ask. Otherwise love the market.

As your local guide, I always recommend a visit to Psar Chas, or the Old Market, in Siem Reap. It's more than just a market; it's a vibrant slice of local life. Here, you'll find everything from fresh produce and spices to souvenirs, clothing, and handcrafted goods. The atmosphere is bustling, filled with the sounds of daily commerce and the aroma of street food. It's a fantastic place to experience authentic Cambodian culture, practice your bargaining skills, and pick up unique gifts. Don't miss the chance to grab a refreshing fruit shake or some delicious local snacks while you explore!

A Must-Visit for Authentic Cambodian Culture!** The Old Market (Phsar Chas) in Siem Reap is a vibrant and bustling place that offers a true taste of local life. From fresh produce and exotic spices to handmade crafts and souvenirs, this market has it all. The atmosphere is lively, and the vendors are friendly—many are happy to chat and share stories if you take the time to engage. What I loved most was the food section, where you can try delicious Cambodian street food at unbeatable prices. The **amok curry**, **grilled meats**, and **fresh tropical fruits** are must-tries! Bargaining is expected, so don’t hesitate to negotiate politely for the best deals. The market is centrally located, making it easy to explore after visiting nearby attractions like Pub Street. It can get crowded, especially in the evenings, but that just adds to the authentic experience. **Highly recommended** for travelers who want to immerse themselves in Cambodian culture, support local vendors, and take home unique finds!

We bought souvenirs, Tshirts from this market. We only had about 30mins from returning from Angkor Wat tour and heading to airport. With bargains, this is nice place where we could find everything we were looking for. all transaction were in USD, and change also returned in USD. ATM's also let you withdraw in USD (option to be selected), although there is a charge to withdraw..

Okay, real talk. The Old Market isn’t just about shopping; it’s about connection. It’s a chance to meet the people behind the crafts, hear their stories, and appreciate the deep cultural heritage of Cambodia. Take the time to chat with the vendors and learn about their traditions—it’s a beautiful reminder that the things we buy are more meaningful when they come with a story. Plus, it’s an opportunity to support local families and communities. Speaking of local, let’s dive into the food stalls! You cannot leave without trying the one of the many street authentic restaurants. fresh tropical fruits—mangoes, dragon fruits, and the sweetest pineapples. Also, don’t miss the fish amok spice kits; you can take a little piece of Cambodian cuisine home with you. Cooking = love, and this market? A love letter to food!
