Shopping Market

Central Market

Designed by a French architect in the 1930s, the yellow art-decoration style Central Market (Psar Thmay) is a famous city landmark offering a wide range of goods which include: fake designer clothing and watches, souvenirs, gold and silver , silks, electronic goods, stationery, and a whole array of exotic food produce. The building has a central dome rotunda, claimed to be one of the largest in the world, and four wings which are packed with stalls, presenting great opportunities for interesting photos.

Central Market has a reputation with the locals for higher prices, there are still bountiful bargains to be had so long as you are prepared to do some serious bartering! As is the case for all the city’s markets, it’s a good idea to change your US dollars into Khmer riel. The market’s many money changers, found in the central rotunda, will offer a better exchange rate than the stall owners. It is the very popular market for the foreigner and Cambodia people .
