Siem Reap

The Angkor Night Market offers an interesting experience for travellers seeking a taste of local culture and craftsmanship. As dusk descends, the market comes alive with a kaleidoscope of colours, fragrances, and sounds, enticing visitors with its array of stalls offering handmade crafts, traditional Cambodian souvenirs, and street food.

For local artists, browse into the Asasax Art Gallery (Pub Street). Paintings of all kinds are also available, mainly around the Old Market, depicting the temples or the former grandeur of the Angkorian Empire.

Silk is very popular in this provincial town - for high-end silk products head to Artisans d’Angkor, Couleurs D’Asie (Sofitel Royal Angkor) and Carnets D’Asie (Sivatha Street.), which all offer designs made from Cambodian silk.

Want to buy authentic Cambodian souvenirs from fair trade? Then visit this handcraft association in the Trang Village. The non-profit organisation supports craftspeople in the region who create traditional products such as silk, woodcarvings or pottery.

Traditional Khmer pottery can be found everywhere in the area and make an ideal souvenir. Stop by this shop and get glazed pieces of art, plates, pots and much more. The friendly staff will even pack your purchase for a safe journey home.
