Phsar Toul Tom Poung (Russian Market)

Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Monday 4th November 2013

Toul Tum Poung Market is often referred to as the "Russian Market" because of its popularity among Russian expatriates during the 1980s. This market is popular to collectors of genuine antiques; also, for those looking for good reproductions. Filled with stalls selling sundry souvenir items (silk scarves and bags, woodcarvings, etc.) and clothing, Toul Tum Poung is a well-frequented market among tourists. Additionally, a handful of air-conditioned "export" shops have cropped up that offer factory over-run designer clothing at hugely discounted prices.
