Phsar Chas (Old Market)
The Old Market (Phsar Chas) and the Old Market area are 'must sees' when
visiting Siem Reap. Of the various traditional markets in the Siem Reap
area, the Old Market is the most popular with tourists and visitors,
offering the greatest selection of souvenirs and curios of any of the
traditional markets. And the area around the Old Market is burgeoning
with shops, galleries, restaurants, bars, massage and more. The Old
Market is located on the river at the south end of the Old French
Quarter. During the day and into the early evening the south side of the
market near the river is alive with souvenir and silk vendors hawking a
wide variety of Cambodian handicrafts, textiles, statues and curios. The
Old Market is also a good place to pick up post cards, tee-shirts and
other small items if you haven't already bought them from the vendors at
the temples. The north half of the market caters primarily to the
locals, vending fruit, vegetables, meats, clothes, appliances and such.
A number of inexpensive food stalls line the northern edge, serving
local fare in interesting though sometimes hygienically challenged
conditions. The Old Market closes at sunset, but many of the souvenir
vendors in south section of the market stay open past 8PM.
While the Old Market offers the greatest variety of souvenirs, the
streets in the area around the market harbor several little galleries
and boutiques, each with its own particular style, collection, art or
specialty. The boutiques and galleries often offer higher quality, more
select items, as well as more comfortable, often air-conditioned
shopping venues. Other conveniences in the Old Market area include
dozens of restaurants and pubs, especially along Pub Street, several
travel agents and Internet shops, a couple of bookstores and several
roving booksellers, convenience stores, banks and ATMs, and several
reflexology/massage shops.
After the sun goes down, the focus shifts a block or two east of the Old
Market to 'Pub Street,' so named for the numerous and varied restaurants
and pubs that line the street from one end to the other. You can always
find Khmer, Thai, French, Vietnamese, Indian, Italian and a variety of
other international foods on at the 'Pub Street' restaurants. Most of
the bars are open all day but don’t really get going until around 5PM as
people return from the temples and come to take advantage of the various
happy hour deals. In the later evening the street is blocked to motor
traffic, allowing pedestrians to stroll easily. It's then that Pub
Street really comes alive as the restaurants move their tables to the
curbside and the bars crank up the music. The whole 'Pub Street' area is
the center of nightlife in Siem Reap these days with most places staying
open until at least midnight and few until near dawn. 'Pub Street
Alley,' running parallel about a half of a block over, offers a somewhat
different atmosphere - a quaint, shaded, tranquil retreat from the Pub
Street crowds. The alley is a narrow lane lined with little galleries,
shops, bars, cafés and Khmer restaurants. See
Old Market for more.
Phsar Leu Thom Thmey (Big, New, Upper
Market)
Phsar Leu is the main traditional market for the locals - an expansive
market building full of vendors and stalls hawking everything from fresh
fruits and vegetables to motorcycle parts, clothing and rice by the
bushel. Not a good place to shop for souvenirs but a great place to see
a bit of real Cambodia. The old Phsar Leu was torn down a few years ago
and a new market building constructed and renamed ‘Phsar Leu Thom Thmey’
(Big, New Upper Market). Opens and closes with the sun. Busiest in the
morning.
