1. Angkor Night Market

The original of the town's night markets — silk, silver, carvings, lacquer and apparel in a lantern-lit compound west of Pub Street.

Where: Night Market
Map: Open in Maps
Best time: Nightly 16:00–23:00
Cost: Budget
Tip: Open at about a third of the asking price. US dollars are used everywhere; change under a dollar comes back in riel.

2. Psar Chaa (Old Market)

The daily covered market at the centre of town — produce and butchery inside, souvenirs, scarves, spices and silver around the edges.

Where: Market
Map: Open in Maps
Best time: Daily 06:00–20:00
Cost: Budget

Watch outSandstone 'Angkor era' carvings are made this year in local workshops. Genuine antiquities cannot legally be exported from Cambodia at all, so anything offered as one is either fake or a crime to carry.

3. Artisans Angkor

The social enterprise workshop and shop — silk weaving, stone and wood carving, lacquer and silver, made on site by trained Cambodian artisans.

Where: Luxury
Map: Open in Maps
Best time: Daily 07:30–18:30; free workshop tours during the day
Cost: Mid–Luxury
Tip: Fixed prices and verifiable provenance, which is the trade-off against the markets. The silk farm outside town is the fuller visit.

4. Made in Cambodia Market

A curated craft market in the King's Road compound — independent Cambodian designers and makers rather than imported souvenir stock.

Where: Market
Map: Open in Maps
Best time: Daily 12:00–22:00
Cost: Mid-range

5. Kandal Village

The quiet lane of independent boutiques, galleries and cafés north of the Old Market — the town's design quarter.

Where: Street Shopping
Map: Open in Maps
Best time: Daily 10:00–19:00
Cost: Mid-range
