Phnom Penh, March 24rd, 2023 —
Orussei Market (also called OuRuessei Market or Phsar Orussey) is the largest old-style market in Phnom Penh, which is spread across 3 floors. Not very well-known to tourists or even expats, this large building is just 5 minutes by tuk tuk from Central Market, and is the place where many Cambodians shop for everyday items.
You can find everything from food, household items, garden tools and electronics on the ground floor to jewellery, tailors, fabric and clothing on the 2 other floors. The top floor is especially popular with locals as a factory-style outlet for a lot of the well-known brands that manufacture their clothes in and around the city.
Prices at Orussei Market are much cheaper than you will pay at home, but you’ll find mostly smaller sizes to suit the Cambodian shoppers. While bargains can be had, this market is so big that you can easily get lost in the labyrinth of aisles and stalls. You can find the market on Street 182, west of Monivong Boulevard.
Location: Oknha Tep Phan St. (182), Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Open: Daily from 8am to 5pm
