Shopping
in Sihanoukville
Sihanoukville does not offer shopping comparable to Phnom
Penh or Siem Reap, but the
town’s shopping opportunities are quickly growing.
In addition to the
main market, there are several convenience stores, a few souvenir shops,
clothing and swim wear shops, a couple of book stores, silver and fine
jewelry and more.
Traditional Markets
Phsar Leu (Upper Market) is the largest traditional in town.
When people refer to ‘the market’, they mean this one - a newly
constructed, 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.
Souvenirs,
