Shopping in Cambodia?
Discover the elegant and intense colors of Cambodian silk at the fashionable little shop Kokoon, near the Old Market on Pi Thnou Street in the provincial capital of Siem Reap. The store offers a wide range of local crafts and jewelry.
Any traveler to Southeast Asia will be drawn to the many local markets and inexpensive boutiques. Cambodia is no exception, and Siem Reap in particular has fantastic markets and entertaining street vendors offering lots of deals.
Where else in the world can you get a 50 cent beer, free WiFi and knock-off designer sunglasses for under $4? Head for Pub Street in Siem Reap for happy hour and effortless shopping. Don't worry about finding the vendors, they'll find you! Enjoy shrimp spring rolls washed down with cold beer before you head across the street for an hour-long full body massage for $6.
