Street 240

Halal Tourism (Cambodia)

Phnom Penh, March 24rd, 2023 —

Street 240 is a nice, quiet street behind the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, with a lot of shops and eateries in old French colonial houses. You’ll find a mix of boutique fashion shops, souvenir shops, cafés, shops belonging to charities, and NGOs promoting fair trade and goods made by locals.

The street is a great place to find small, independent fashion boutiques selling unique clothing made of local fabrics and silk, as well as unique jewellery shops tucked away behind a garden and selling items made of “buttons”. There are also stores selling second-hand books and a volunteer library offering a reading room. Textile shops offer their wares for home decoration or clothing, and cooperative clothing stores showcase fabrics locally designed and woven, providing a fair wage to employees. If you’re tired of the usual Southeast Asian trinkets gifts and souvenirs, this is the place to find something different.
