Phnom Penh Night Market Market
Night market offering street food and local crafts
A big stage with local dance and music performance draws a crowd at the night market and the pajamas sets that everyone wears here make a little more sense if only because it’s dark outside.
About Phnom Penh Night Market#
The Phnom Penh Night Market is a small evening market set along Sisowath Quay, opposite the Tonle Sap riverside and just north of Wat Ounalom in central Phnom Penh. A big stage hosts local dance and music performances that draw a crowd, and food stalls gather behind it. It is a lively, atmospheric spot, though small compared with the city’s other markets.
Exploring Phnom Penh Night Market#
Push past the entrance - where rival mobile-phone companies compete for attention over loudspeakers - and head for the perimeter or the food stalls behind the stage. The wares here are in good condition, and the dressed-up Khmer youth make for excellent people-watching. Jewellery, silk flowers, silks, and accessories can be had for a good bargain. If you are after fried insects or spiders, though, you may leave empty-handed.
