A broad variety of trendy homeware is also available. Silk is one of Cambodian’s most popular souvenir items. The local Khmer people who use traditional methods of spinning to create handmade silk is really tenting. Scarf, fabric, shirt, bags and several other silk items are easy for visitors to find on the market in eye-catching designs. Those interested in knowing more about the cycle from silkworm to scarf would have the opportunity to visit the silk farm of Artisan Angkor, in the vicinity of Siem Reap. Lotus Silk produces a variety of scarfs in Phnom Penh and others.

Krama

Good Krama, an exclusive Cambodian designer label, is a trendy shop to buy Krama along with four other Cambodian labels. The typical Cambodian clothing is used to cover the neck, to hold babies, as a youth hammock, to sweat flies away and wipe sweat beads and many more. The studied fabric is usually offered in red and white, although certain new styles include a bright rainbow.

Russian Market

This expanding bazaar is the only market to be noticed by tourists on a journey to Phnom Penh at least once. There are souvenirs and cheaper items with the official brand. You can find genuine products from small manufacturers with enough to cough, but it is most definitely the banana republic, Billabong, Calvin Klein, Columbia Sportswear, Adidas and Next are all labels that are to be found on the street. The Russian market has a wide range of handicrafts and antiques, which include miniature Buddhas, woodcarvings, babel noodles, silk, etc., as the main Russian ex-pat community shopped here in the 1980s.

Sculptures and Carvings

Cambodia has amazing sculptures at very fair rates and originals. The local craftsmen would use the extracted stone which they have constructed to create sculptures in the old temple. Such reproductions of art have fooled certain experts with skilful paws. A number of specially made items are for offer in the nation in wood or in stone. There isn’t a lack of choices to take home from big Buddha to boxes and thumbnails of Angkor Wat.

Siem Reap Night Market
The original night market of Siem Reap near Sivatha St has generated multiple versions but remains the best one and worth a visit. The stalls are filled with a selection of art, souvenirs and fabric. Island Bar provides live music on a regular basis and Sombai offers organic rice wines for those who want to make it overnight.

Palm Sugar

Cambodia is full of palm-sugar trees – the largest of the country’s national trees – and if you are blessed you will pick up the fruit at the peak of the peak those men and women who scale the skinny trunks. The canopy can last for up to a century, and the tree reaches 30 meters above sea level. A palm sugar with more hints of cinnamon looks like dark cane sugar. This is used as a common remedy in cooking and is another local commodity that has gained GI.

Central Market

The “Central Market” as it is situated in the middle of Phnom Penh is also named. The house has a wide dome which has the Babylonian Ziggurat form. This area has a total of four shops with a range of trendy products and clothes. Within this beautiful building, you can even find some tasty treats.

Cambodian traditional art appears to depict replicas of Angkor Wat and the nearby buildings, country scenes and agricultural staff. In the region, however, there is a constantly evolving contemporary art scene with several shop galleries flogging their products. The capital’s street 178 – art alley – has lines of art shops and galleries that highlight the talents of the region.
