The Cambodian handmade product market, English is Made in Cambodia Market, is the most distinctive handmade market in Siem Reap. However, due to the previous relocation, there are currently relatively few people visiting the new location. The location is located on the east bank of the Siem Reap River, just across the river from the old market. At the entrance, there is a remarkable landmark in the shape of a waterwheel. Next to the waterwheel is the entrance to the market.
Opening hours: daily from 12 noon to 10 pm
The special thing about this market is that all the things sold in it are made locally in Cambodia. Since there is no industry in Cambodia, there are not many things that can be bought "true" Made in Cambodia.
Compared to old markets or night markets (most of which are imported from Vietnam and Thailand), things here are more distinctive. The market is currently moved to (2017) KING ROAD mall. This mall gathers well-known international manufacturers, such as the chain of Hard Rock Cafe and Costa Coffee.
In front of the main entrance of the market is the Siem Reap River. There is a big waterwheel here, and it is full of beautiful scenery at night.
Entrance to the market
Looking inward from the entrance, you will see a well-known local ice cream shop (Blue Pumpkin) directly in front, and there are small merchants stationed on both sides. The products sold by these small merchants are all made in Cambodia. Therefore, this market is called the Made in Cambodia Market (Made in Cambodia Market).
Compared with the Angkor Night Market, there are fewer people here; it is planned by the same group as the Angkor Night Market. Compared with other markets, this area has more cultural and creative elements. Suitable for Wenqing to stroll around.
This is the sign at the entrance. The name of this mall is called KING’S ROAD, and the Made in Cambodia Market (Made in Cambodia Market) is part of the mall.
The mall will provide the previously unused trail area to the Made in Cambodia Market (Made in Cambodia Market). Make the original mall a big plus!
The picture above is Sombai's stall. The owner is a European. After drinking local rice wine in Cambodia, he decided to improve the taste.
The boss added various fruits and fermented rice wine to make rice wine fashionable. Coupled with the hand-painted bottle body, the texture of the entire product is instantly improved.
Many hawkers sell all kinds of goods. Most of these are handmade by the remote villages of Siem Reap.
The overall area of the mall is small, but it is very comfortable with the lighting and architectural style at night.
There is a stone carving shop inside. Cambodia’s stone sculptures are very famous. This is an important feature of their culture. If I choose something to bring back, my first choice would be stone sculptures (but the price is not too cheap).
Such decorations can be placed at home, with lighting, can create a very nice atmosphere
