Psar Chaa - Old MarketThis is Siem Reap's most popular shopping experience for
visitors. The outside stalls sell souvenirs such as silk, carvings,
stoneware, faux vintage items, t-shirts, and paintings and photos
of Angkor Wat temples. Further inside the market are fresh produce
and seafood stalls. The food stalls are an excellent opportunity to
sample authentic Khmer food, invariably served with the distinctive
local Prahok, a type of fermented fish paste. A good accompaniment
is coconut milk drunk directly from the fruit. The ubiquity of
baguettes and frog legs is a clear, and delicious legacy of the
French colonial era. Address: Downtown Siem Reap |
