Made in Cambodia Market — Attraction in Siem Reap

It is the most glamorous place with various shopping stores that I have seen in Siem Reap. Modern and stylish, with cool things. However, I started by buying an ice cream, and that made me give up on buying more. The ice cream was wonderful, made with natural fruits, but the opportunistic and abusive attitude of the vendor made me not want to return. Among other things, she gave me change in old dollar bills, knowing that I wouldn't be able to use them later (because in Siem Reap, no one accepts them) – at the time, I was so tired that I didn't notice. This "street vendor's attitude" does not match the class that the market appears to have. This lady doesn't deserve to be there. I don't know what she gained in the moment, but she surely lost in the following days because I didn't go back. And she harmed her market colleagues indirectly. Obviously, the less money tourists can use (due to unusable dollar bills, for example), the less money they will spend. Some people just...

I did a random google search for hand made goods and this popped up. I was close in the area and decided to swing by during a storm. It was a super super super cute market.

I bought a ton of nice bags and scarfs for about $8-15. If you are looking to spend money that goes to fair trade/artisan made enterprises. Then this...

We saw them listed on Google Maps as one of the top places of shopping at Siem Reap. The recommendations and reviews turned out to be right. A compact and a market away from the hustle and bustle of the main areas this place has refreshments too. The merchandise is the same as what one can buy elsehwere but there is variety and quality of the goods sold at Made in Cambodia too. The fabric and garment stores are the largest among the shops. Among the larger shops are the smaller ones and kiosks selling knick knacks. Some stores are run by organizations that support people with disabilities so one has to be ready to use sign language in such stores. Bargaining is allowed though not by all the shops. The sellers are polite. For good quality merchandise at reasonable price one should head to Made in...
