Shopping in Sihanoukville 
Sihanouk Ville does not offer shopping comparable to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, but the town’s shopping opportunities are growing. There are several convenience stores/small supermarkets scattered across the town, most carrying a good selection of the usual traveler’s needs. And there are now finally a few regular Cambodian souvenir shops in town.

In addition to the shops listed below, check out the little NGO-based shops from organizations like M’Lop Tapang and Starfish located along the road to Serendipity Beach.
