Souvenirs from Siem Reap

by Deng249

Some stuffs to buy in Siem Reap.1) Krama (traditional scarf) at the market. If I'm not mistaken, I bought it for about USD 3. They come in various colors, and make lovely gifts for ladies. 2) All sorts of teas, e.g. lemongrass, jasmine, etc. They are packaged nicely as gift. 3) Books on Angkor.4) Magnets...I like the ones made from photographs of Angkor.5) BookmarksI bought the bookmarks & magnets at the night market, at a stall set up by www.helpinghandscambodia.com, using photographs by Deborah Groves Photography.

Les Artisans d'Angkor: A great shop that benefits the community

by trisanna

This is a wonderful shop. They have one location in Siem Reap and another in the Phnom Pehn airport. Les Artisans d'Angkor is a foundation set up by mostly European donors that trains young Cambodians the art of the ancient Khmer civilization. You can walk through the main workshops and see the artists at work. There is a lovely shop that sells the artists' work. With purchase of products here the money goes back to the artist, who made the piece. There are laquer, silk, wood and stone carving workshops. The foundation encourages people to buy newly made crafts that resembles the old stuff, since the antique pieces were probably stolen from temples. Don't buy Buddha heads! This store, has a great selection of carved stone animals and tiles. They have lovely silk outfits, scarves and gifts.

Road Side Stop: Yummy Sugar Apples

by monina_c

If you are driving from Siem Reab to Poipet on your way back to Bangkok, you keep your eyes peeled for the little roadside stops where locals sell sugar apples (Anona squamosa Linn.). The fruit has sweet white segmented flesh (somewhat like jackfruit) wrapped around black seeds. 100 riel (US$0.02) will get you two pieces of sugar apples.

BLOOM: Rice bags

by iammon

This is a little but nice Bags and Accessories shop. Specialized in rice bags. They claim that they pay their workers fairly. Therefore the bags are a bit more expensive than on the markets and a bit nicer done (motives in front and so on) 10$ and up

Artisans d' Angkor - Stone & Wood Carving Shop: Artisans d' Angkor - Stone & Wood Carving Shop

by Cathy&Gary

Artisans d' Angkor Shop Siem Reap Town The Wood and Stone Carving centre is in Siem Reap town 200 metres off Sivatha.After you have finished the free tour, (which you are not obligated to do) the highlight (for me) was going into the showroom and seeing the beautiful products on sale.The shop is a showcase of wood and stone carvings, silk products, magnificient bas-reliefs plus much more. There is absolutely no pressure to buy. Products are not cheap in these shops, but then again they are not rubbish souvenirs mass produced for tourists. You are paying for quality products.I purchased a natural sandstone Head of Pranhaparamita which sits in a black stand. She is exquisite (and very heavy) and cost US$59The shop is fantastic and there were so many beautiful things I would like to buy. Maybe next time??

Buying Books - Angkor Guide Book: Buying Books - Angkor Guide Book

by Cathy&Gary

One thing you should not be without in Siem Reap is Dawn Rooney's book called "Angkor An Introduction to the Temples". Make sure its the fourth edition or later and not an earlier one. This book is fantastic, loads of info on the temples and how long you will need to see each one, maps, photos and suggested orders to see various temples.You can buy the book from any of the street book stalls or from book shops. We paid $4 for our copy in a book shop and it is far better quality than some we have bought from the street sellers.
