 | Phnom Penh Russian Market Reviews | 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
This market has been known by its English name since 1980s, probably because there were many Russians and Russian goods alike then at this covered market. Here you'll lots of tourist buying gifts and souvenirs. There is also a large section where you can try local dishes or buy a refreshment.
There are clothes, shoes, silks (sampots) and handbags, woodcarvings, compact discs, antiques or pottery.
Unlike Bangkok, the clothes with brandnames are real ones here. They are manufactured in Cambodia, but due to some (mostly minor) mistake not good enough for export to the western countries. For a tiny amount of money you can get for example good quality Colombia zip-off pants.
Also backpacks are a good deal at this market!
Don't buy anything without bargaining! Sometimes you can bargain more than 50% off. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Ph 440 & Ph 163Directions: A covered market south to Mao Tse Toung Boulevard.

More commonly referred by foreigners as Russian market. It was where Russians shopped during the 1980s.
Best place in town for souvenirs and clothes shopping. It has a large range of real and fake antiquities, including miniature Buddhas, wood carvings, betel-nut boxes, silk, silver jewellery, musical instruments and so on. Bargain hard as thousands of tourists pass through here each month.
This is also the market where all the western clothing made in garment factories around Phnom Penh turns up. Popular brands include Gap, Colombia, Calvin Klein, Quicksilver, Aigle and Next but more are coming to Cambodia all the time.
Also available are inexpensive DVDs, CDs and computer programmes, as well as a host of other goodies. This is the one market all visitors should come to at least once during a trip to Phnom Penh.
There is a good range of trousers, skirts, shirts, T-shirts, boxer shorts and shoes.
All at around 10% of the price paid back home. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: South of Mao Tse Toung BoulevardPhone: NilDirections: South of Mao Tse Toung Boulevard.Website: Nil Other Contact: Nil

There are a hundred and one stalls to shhop in here, and there are some pretty interesting stalls as well.. of course you can browse the fake brand name clothes stalls, and pirate cd and dvd shops, or if you like a bit of blood then the chicken stall where you can see the star of the nights menu meet his end... and it's not for the faint hearted.. with all stalls one can haggle the prices down..A hearty laugh and a firm price offer normal works.. if you ain't sure on the power of your haggling then watch the monty python film 'the life of brian' where you can see the art of street haggling in action.
CD and DVDs

Another shopping paradise - with definitely far more branded stuffs on sale for those with good bargaining skills and also be warned - this place is not for the claustophobic.
It is definitely narrow, you will get sweaty as you ploughed through the narrow lanes in search of your shopping buys.
Press on, you must and you will be duly rewarded with great shopping buys! We should know as we survive two shopping trips to the Russian Market!
We always ask the tuk-tuk drivers to alight us at the East Entrance of the Phsar as it makes it easier for us to get our bearings in this real hazy maze of a market! Why East Entrance, because as you walk in, you will encounter the only camping bags stall in the whole of Russian Market. That makes it easier to remember where you come from.

Russian Market is not as interesting architecturally as the Central Market but it's main attraction would be the whole array of things made of silk - from party dresses, robes, bags.
Best of all, they're cheap and of good quality, even cheaper than those found in the markets of Ho Chi Minh.
They sell food items too but I didn't go to that part of the market. We bought 5 silk robes and that's enough for me to carry and put in the tuktuk.
Silk robe - $5-14
Wooden business card holder and compact mirror - $ 1-2
Cheaper than those in Central Market Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: South to Mao Tse Toung Boulevard. On the way to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Russian Market is probably the city's best source of objects d'art. Items for sale include wooden and stone carvings, various ritual objects, silverware, and old Indochinese notes and coins. There is a large range of antiquities and curios for those prepared to ferret around the various stalls and there are also gold and silversmiths inside the market who can be seen custom making jewelry. This too is a good source of both Cambodian and Chinese Silk and Clothes. This is one of the most popular markets in Phnom Penh with foreign residents and tourists who can spend many an interesting hour browsing before choosing the perfect gift. You could get clothes, t-shirt as well in here with a good resonable prices. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: South to Mao Tse Toung Boulevard.

The russian market is a great place to get your souveniers, also they have a great selection of knockoff books, so you dont have to give in to all the kids beggining you to buy from me!!!you can get really good DVDs there too, for 3 for $5. Make sure to ask if they are good...they will tell you the truth, be careful of the very new releases, they have a better chance of not working, when in doubt, most places that sell them have DVD players...ask them to play them for you to see if they work before you buy!
Dvds, knock-off travel books , gifts to bring home, cheap backpacks
$3-5 for books, DVDS 3 for $5 Theme: OtherAddress: Russian market, in the center of townDirections: South to Mao Tse Toung Boulevard.

This market has a larger and more varied selection of souvenirs, curios and silks than the Central Market. It has a good selection of silver, gold and jewels, but also carries huge selection of curios, silks, carvings, etc and offers the largest selection of bootlegged VCDs, DVDs and CDs of all of the traditional markets. It’s also a good place to buy fabric for business and casual cloths to take to the tailor.
Whatever you can barter. Theme: OtherDirections: South to Mao Tse Toung Boulevard.

Not some olden Tsarist market, but the place where the foreign envoys shopped in the 1980s when aid was pouring in to the country from the Soviets, this is a rather claustrophobic market resembling a large lock-up garage.
Inside, its dimly lit corridors and passageways are crammed full of antiques and jewellery, both genuine and fake. You will also find lots of clothing, apparently shipped out the back door of the incredibly employee-focused factories where all the popular western brands are made, and not by 10 year olds, oh no!
