“A diverse collection of souvenirs, handicrafts, and clothing inspired by Angkor Wat, along with numerous food stalls and foot massage parlours”
Siem Reap Night Market is a primary destination for tourists looking to experience shopping and food after a long day of temple visits. The market has been operating since 2007 and remains highly popular. It is well-organized under Khmer-style wooden huts, making it comfortable to explore.
You can find a wide variety of goods, ranging from high-quality Khmer silk, silverwork, jewellery made from coconut shells, to art and carvings inspired by the architecture of Angkor. Additionally, there is a Street Food zone offering both local and international dishes.
The atmosphere of the market is lively and vibrant, filled with lights and sounds that invite people to stop by and sample new foods or enjoy a traditional or foot massage at the many parlours available. Bargaining is common here, but it should be done politely.
