Shopping...
For Cambodian souvenirs, art, silks, handicrafts and curios, both Phnom
Penh and Siem Reap offer plenty of shopping opportunities, though Phnom
Penh offers a somewhat wider range and variety. Traditional Cambodian
souvenirs include fine hand-loomed silks, Angkorian and Buddhist themed
carvings and statuary, hand-pounded silverwork, colored gems,
traditional handicrafts, basketry and of course, the most traditional of
all Cambodian souvenirs, the krama - a checkered scarf unique to the
Khmer people and tourists in Cambodia. The traditional markets,
especially Phsar Toul Thom Pong (Russian Market) and Phsar Thmey
(Central Market) both offer excellent selections of traditional
souvenirs as well as a unique local experience. Several boutiques are
clustered together along
Street 240 behind to the
Royal Palace. Boutiques, silk shops and souvenir shops also dot
the
riverfront area and
the
Boeung Keng Kang 1 area.
Street 178 next to the
National Museum is known as 'Art Street' for the art galleries
that line the street from the riverfront to Street 19.
What to buy...
 Cambodian Silk
- Cambodian silks are prized by silk collectors the world over. Most of
the silk available in Cambodia is hand-loomed using the traditional ikat
method of dying the threads and looming in the patterns. Both raw and
fine silks are available in the form of bolts, sarongs, clothing and
various handicrafts. Cambodian silk is available at the Russian Market
and silk shops and boutiques across town, many specializing in silk
creations such as tailored Asian and Euro-Asian fashions, fashion
accessories and soft furnishings. To learn more about Cambodian silk
check out the book, ‘Traditional
Textiles of Cambodia’ by Gillian Green
 Silverwork
- Silver areca nut containers are popular traditional souvenirs. These
pounded silver containers are ordinarily shaped as animals, fruits and
vegetables, and were and to some degree still are used in ceremonial and
everyday life to hold dried areca nut. (Areca nut, also known as 'betel
nut,' is a mild stimulant that is chewed as one chews tobacco. You may
notice some people in the countryside, especially older women, with
teeth stained black from years of chewing areca.) Nowadays, the silver
containers are made primarily for sale as souvenirs but are still hand
crafted using traditional techniques and styles.
 Statues and Carvings -
Statues and carvings of traditional subjects, often replicas of
Angkorian-era works as well as Buddhas and various Hindu gods and
personages, are available in stone, wood and brass. Statues make for
relatively heavy, bulky souvenirs but are still very popular because of
their beauty and artistic value. The replica of an Angkorian era bust of
Jayavarman VII with its graceful lines and peaceful smile is truly
captivating and is perhaps the most popular piece..
 Art
- Over the last few of years Cambodia’s art scene has begun to blossom
as a new generation of Cambodian artists takes the fore. The chic little
silk, art and furniture boutiques along
Street 240 and the art
galleries and boutiques on
Street 178 (‘Art Street’)
near the National Museum are both great areas to explore for quality
traditional and contemporary Southeast Asian art. Of particular note,
the very active New Meta House (www.meta-house.com
) the award winning Reyum Gallery and contemporary art focused
Java Café & Gallery (www.javaarts.org,)
all offer regular events and changing art exhibitions. Look for Meta
House event schedule fliers at restaurants and bars. Also check Asia
Life magazine and the back page of the Friday Cambodia Daily
for new and on-going exhibitions

 Gems -
Western Cambodia, particularly in the area of Pailin, is a fertile
source of colored stones, particularly sapphires and rubies. In addition
to the listed jewelers, gem dealers can be found at the Central Market
and Russian Market. Know something about gems and/or know your jeweler
before spending much money.
Where to buy...
Traditional Markets
 Central Market (Psah Thmei)
The distinctive yellow domed Phsar Thmey (also known as the ‘Central
Market’) is a ‘must see,’ both as a historic and architecturally
interesting building and as a shopping destination. The Central Market
is a good place to pick up souvenirs, books, and if you now what you are
doing, gems and jewelry. Souvenir vendors line the entrance walkway
offering statuary, silverwork, handicrafts, silks and kramas, carvings,
photocopy books and postcards and the largest selection of souvenir
t-shirts and caps and town. The central dome of the main building houses
an amazing display of jewelry and gems.
 Russian Market (Psah Toul Tom Poung)
Of all the traditional markets, the Russian Market offers the largest
selection of souvenirs, curios and other items of interest to the
visitor. The south side is the place to begin your shopping foray, lined
inside and out with stalls selling carvings, handicrafts, silks and
fabrics, curios, CDs and inexpensive electronic goods. This market
offers the largest selection of bootlegged VCDs and DVDs in town, with
vendors located near southeast entrance. There are also several fabric
vendors making it a good place to pick up fabric to take to the tailor.
(This market became the foreigner’s market during the 1980’s when most
of the foreigners were Russians, hence the name ‘Russian Market.’)

Tabitha Cambodia employs a unique community development model:
Disadvantaged women undertake a six-week training course, at which point
they have usually made enough money to purchase a sewing machine to take
home. Tabitha then places orders handicrafts, and the workers receive a
fair price, ultimately providing a regular income and employment.
