Phsar
Chas (Old Market)
The Old Market (Phsar Chas) and surrounding area including the nearby
Pub Street, Pub Street alleys and the Night Markets are 'must sees' when
visiting Siem Reap. Very popular, the whole Old Market area stretching
from the river across to the night markets on Sivutha Blvd is now the
dining, shopping and nightlife center of town.
Of the various traditional Cambodian markets
in Siem Reap, the Old Market offers the deepest selection of souvenirs
and curios. There are souvenir vendors on all sides off the market and
into the interior, especially on the river side - offering silks,
silverworks, carvings, statuary, art and handicrafts as well as
t-shirts, boot-legged DVDs and books.
The 2 Thnou Street side of the market is a
mix of local and tourist vendors, some offering souvenirs, others
specializing in clothing, shoes and hats aimed more at the local
consumer. The side opposite Street 11 is also a mix, with many vendors
offering handicrafts, puppets, musical instruments and basketry and
local food and dried fish vendors toward the other end. The north side
of the market along Street 9 caters more to the locals than tourists,
vending fruit, vegetables, meats, clothes, hardware and such but there are
several interesting local spice, tea and coffee vendors on this side and
a number of inexpensive cafe stalls lining the street, serving Cambodian
fare in an interesting, very local atmosphere. A good place for a budget
meal and a taste of real Cambodian cuisine.
The streets in the area around the market,
especially the now famous Pub Street and Pub Street Alleys, sport
dozens of tourist oriented business including galleries and boutiques,
restaurants, cafes, bars, massage and spas, travel agents, bookstores, a
pharmacy and lots more. |

for the locals - 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 good place to shop for souvenirs
but a great place to see a bit of real Cambodia. The old Phsar Leu was
torn down a few years ago and a new market building constructed and
renamed ‘Phsar Leu Thom Thmey’ (Big, New Upper Market). Opens and closes
with the sun. Busiest in the morning. |

What to Buy...
Hand-woven
Cambodian silks, wood carvings, statues and castings, modern
fashion and accessories, contemporary Cambodian art,
handicrafts, temple rubbings, silver areca containers, basketry,
t-shirts and nifty products made from recycled rice bags are
among the most popular souvenirs. The most useful and
one of the cheapest souvenirs is a traditional checkered
Cambodian scarf, called a ‘krama.’ If you don't mind looking
like a tourist, wear it around your neck like the locals do to
keep the tropical sun off the back of your neck.
|
|
Cambodian Silks
Cambodia has a long and rich history in silk production that
dates back more than a thousand years; Cambodian silk is prized
by silk collectors the world over. A fascinating way to learn
about Cambodian silk is to visit Angkor Silk Farm, where you can
take a free guided tour that explain the meticulous process of
silk production, from cultivating mulberry bushes to the
Cambodian ikat technique and the dyeing, weaving, and creation
of silk fabrics. In Siem Reap, both raw and fine silks are
available in the form of short bolts, sarongs, clothing and
various handicrafts.
|
|
Silverwork & Betel boxes
Silver areca containers are popular traditional souvenirs. These
pounded silver containers are ordinarily shaped as animals,
fruits and boxes. Made to hold dried areca nut, they are still
used in ceremonial and everyday life. (Areca nut, also known as
'betel nut,' is a mild stimulant chewed as one chews tobacco.
You may notice people in the countryside, especially older
women, with teeth stained black from years of chewing areca.) Nowadays, the containers are made primarily for sale as
souvenirs but are still hand crafted using traditional
techniques and styles.
|
|
Gems & Jewelry
Gems are a tempting souvenir.
Western Cambodia, particularly in the area of Pailin, has long
been a
fertile source of colored stones - rubies, emeralds and
sapphires. The traditional markets in Siem Reap are
full of jewelers specializing in Cambodian sapphires and rubies.
There are also several jewelry shops in town.
Know something about gems and/or know the jeweler before
spending much money.
|
|
Statues and carvings
Statues and carvings of traditional subjects, often replicas of
Angkorian-era works as well as buddhas and various Hindu gods
and personages, are available in stone, wood and brass. Statues
can make for relatively heavy, bulky souvenirs but are still
very popular because of their beauty and artistic value. The
replica of an Angkorian era bust of Jayavarman VII with its
graceful lines and peaceful smile is truly captivating and is
perhaps the most popular piece.
|
|
Contemporary Fashions
Cambodia-based and local designers are producing a wide range of
clothing and accessories that bring a modern twist to
traditional Khmer designs and patterns. From bags created from
the ubiquitous Khmer krama or stylish dresses patterned with the
Cambodian ikat, in Siem Reap you'll find clothing and
accessories that are uniquely Cambodian. In the Old Market area
on Alley West, you’ll find a cluster of funky clothing shops
selling fresh, new styles, many of which are made with
locally-sourced fabrics and sustainable techniques. Another
popular item that you’ll see around town are colorful recycled
rice bags that have been made into a variety of inexpensive
products such as purses and laptop bags.
|
|
Pepper, Spices & Coffee
Cambodia coffees, teas and spices,
especially the famed Kampot pepper, are prized in kitchens
around the world. Pepper from Kampot Province is considered some
of the highest quality pepper in the world, characterized by its
distinct flavor and pugnacity, an intense but light taste with
fresh lingering aromas. Cambodian coffee from Ratanakiri
Province, locally made palm wines and spirits also make
interesting, useful, tasty souvenirs of Cambodia. |
