Phnom Penh Night Market

“The market is fairly small, with multiple vendors selling clothing. However, most items are only available in small sizes, so if you’re a bit curvier, you may have a hard time finding something that fits unless it’s very stretchy. There’s a good variety of food options, and people sit together on the floor to eat, which I thought was a really cool and unique experience. When we visited, there was also a singer performing on stage. Overall, it was a nice stop, but we walked through the entire night market in under 40 minutes.”

“The products and quality is very good. I felt the sellers are not much welcoming as like in siem reap. If you plan to postpone your shopping to siem reap don't do it. In siem reap mostly you will see the tourist stuffs but here you can get the accessories and clothing for normal use and usually in a cheaper price.”

“On the shore of the Mekong river, this night market is delightful. It stretches for almost half a kilometre, so is long and narrow. It is predominantly a food market, and we really enjoyed the Cambodian street food we ate here, but there are also the usual range of typical market stalls. For us the highlights was watching the local dancers, circling around to music in the most hypnotic way, all exaggerated eastern hand movements and slow steps. The dancers, mostly older women and young gay men, were a delight, we were captivated for ages...”

“People are just sitting on the ground enjoying the local food, with live music in the background, pretty chill atmosphere. Enjoyed the ice cream in the half coconut, only 1.5 USD, and also got free coconut water. Chicken porridge is $2 USD.”

“The Phnom Penh Night Market (locally known as Phsar Reatrey) is a vibrant open-air market located on the riverfront between Street 106 and 108. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists to enjoy authentic Cambodian street food and budget-friendly shopping in a relaxed, riverside atmosphere. Unlike typical food courts, diners here often sit on large bamboo mats or carpets spread out on the ground to enjoy their meals, creating a communal and local vibe. You can find a wide variety of Khmer delicacies, including grilled seafood, pork ribs, traditional noodles, tropical fruits, and even adventurous snacks like fried insects. The market features a central stage where local singers and performers often put on shows, providing free entertainment while you shop or eat.”
