Why Visit
The Old Market, also called Phsar Chas or Psar Chaa, is a useful landmark for finding your way around central Siem Reap. Market stalls and souvenir sellers sit close to the river, with Pub Street and its surrounding lanes nearby.
Visit for the market itself rather than expecting a single curated shopping experience. Compare products, ask where handmade goods were produced and agree on prices before buying. Individual stalls keep their own schedules. The morning is a practical choice for a market walk; later, continue along the river or into the surrounding streets for food. Ask permission before photographing vendors at close range.
