Old Market (Phsar Chas)

The Old Market in Phnom Penh has been in its current location since the French colonial times and is the oldest market still operating in Phnom Penh. This is truly a locals’ market, popular with Khmer people, so a visit will give you the experience of a truly authentic market.

Phsar Chas offers a wide range of clothing, handicrafts and textiles, along with motorcycle parts and fruits and vegetables. Towards the evening on weekends, the food vendors will set up mats along Street 13 for the evening market. The market closes at sunset, but the stands located on the south side selling souvenirs will often stay open until well after 8pm. You can reach the market on Street 108, just behind the Night Market and next to Freedom Park.
