🇰🇭 Phnom Penh Market Guide: 3 Must-Visit Bazaars
For shoppers and culture seekers, here’s how to conquer the Big 3 Markets of Cambodia’s capital—with zero fluff. 1️⃣ Central Market (Phsar Thmei) Iconic art-deco dome, but meh for tourists. Weird eats: Fried insects (crickets, anyone?). Verdict: Skip unless you need socks/phone cases. 2️⃣ Orussey Market Local wholesale heaven (think: 3 floors of everything). Hidden gem: Orussey Restaurant across the street—wonton noodles & beef kway teow (¥30/bowl). 3️⃣ Russian Market (Phsar Tuol Tom Pong) ★ Tourist MVP! Packed with souvenirs, silks, and bargaining (try 10% off). Nearby perks: Sunny Fried Rice (spicy kick!) MIXUE (yes, the ¥4 ice cream!) 🍦 Brown Coffee (500m away, AC refuge). Hot tip: Avoid mornings (wholesale chaos). 💡 Final Advice Bring cash (USD/Riel) + hand fan (it’s sauna-level hot). Prioritize: Russian Market > Orussey > Central. #PhnomPenh #MarketHustle
