Address

West bank of the Siem Reap River, the block where Pub Street meets Hospital Road

The outer aisles are packed with krama scarves, elephant pants, silverwork and pepper and spice stalls, and the smell changes as you go in. The centre is a working food market: fish on ice, hanging meat, heaps of vegetables and tropical fruit, with a few noodle counters where people eat breakfast. Opening prices are pitched at tourists, so bargaining is normal and the same item varies a lot stall to stall. Mornings are busy with locals shopping; by afternoon it's mostly the souvenir side.
