Prices of products at Phsar Orussey are a lot cheaper than elsewhere in Phnom Penh. Phsar Orussey is not very well-known to tourists or expats since it does not offer souvenirs as tother local markets. However, visiting this Phsar will give you a chance to get an idea of Cambodian people’s life and experience the daily life of locals by yourself. Just a quick reminder, you need to be careful when visiting Phsar Orussey since it is so large and you can get lost easily. It is usually packed every day and every time, to be safe, you are advised to be careful with your belongings all the time.

It is an open-air market that offers a wide range of local products, such as Cambodian handicrafts, arts, clothes, wood carvings, and souvenirs. It was originally aimed toward tourists, but surprisingly Cambodian people seem to enjoy the night markets as much as tourists.

After a long and tough week, you can go to one of the malls or markets mentioned above to relax and entertain yourself. Pressure can be forgotten for a while when you are shopping, especially for ladies. I highly recommend you to shop in local markets or phsar instead of going to the mall, because phsar will give you an insight into Cambodian’s daily life and you get to engage with local people more. A lot of local products at phsar with affordable prices.
Nevertheless, going to the mall is great as well as you can shop at an air-conditioned space and can avoid the tropical heat which can be annoying sometimes. If you do not have a lot of time to go to malls or phsar and want to buy some necessities, supermarkets will obviously help you out
