Traditional Markets

Phsar Leu (Upper Market) is the largest and oldest traditional-style market in town. When people refer to ‘the market’, they mean this one - a dimly lit, roofed expanse of booths and stalls vending everything from fresh meat and vegetables to clothing, auto parts, jewelry, etc. Opens and closes with the sun.
