You can buy most things you need in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia. For souvenirs, clothing, DVDs and other, the Russian Market is hard to beat. Other markets include the imposing Central Market (Phsar Thmei) and the Old Market, which have fewer tourists and English speakers, but more atmosphere and authenticity.

Other places for antiques are scattered around the riverfront area. Modern young Cambodians like to shop at the Soriya Center, but there are plenty of other shops for everyday needs.

Western food and most toiletries you could need are to be found at Lucky Supermarket and Pencil Supermarket, and there are many pharmacies all over town (those in the center more commonly have English speakers).

If you are in Siem Reap, shopping in Siem Reap can be a treat. Apart from the shops at Artisans d’Angkor, you can spend time strolling around one of the traditional markets – Psar Chas or Psar Leu – where you can find souvenirs and many useful items. There are also a number of up-market boutiques where you can buy fine gifts. Take some time when you are shopping in Siem Reap and look around – prices can vary greatly and it’s worth checking other shops out and doing some bargaining.
