    A must do
    I visited here a couple of times during my visit to the city. It's situated down by the river. First, there are rows of stalls outside selling food, gifts, watches, clothing etc. The clothing is marked "Versace" and "Calvin Klein" but you know it's all fake. However, there are bargains to be had, just remember to haggle for them and don't pay the price as advertised. You will be respected more if you are prepared to negotiate for a bargain. There is live music on every night and at the back is the food area, selling loads of freshly cooked street food in all forms. There are tables around or you could just sit one a rug on the floor and eat and be sociable. I had a meal here with a bottle of water which came to less that $4. I also has a large ice cream afterwards which cost $1. Everyone is very friendly and respectful and what more can a tourist really ask for than being part of a community atmosphere and eating and drinking with the locals for such a low price on a warm spring evening.

    One time must visit
    Good place to shop if your are interested in replicas, I didn’t buy anything so won’t be able to comment on price. The quality look decent as compared to central market. Food stalls and people sitting together as a community is a nice gesture and experience. OK for 1 time visit if you are in Phnom Penh.

    Nice food experienced
    Not sure what we should expect but it turned to be really nice local food experience. Beside clothes and souvenirs, the part of market is food corner. Local food 🥘, soups, noodles 🍝, seafood 🦞 and salads. We ordered fresh and fried spring rolls, fried rice 🍚, chicken and seafood 🦞 soup. Really enjoyed. What is unique that you sit in the middle on carpets….

Compared to the Central Market and Russian Market, I actually preferred the Night Market for a couple of reasons. Being outdoors makes it a little less claustrophobic in my opinion, although the stalls on the outskirts are still quite close. Also there are quite a few street food stands towards the back that have some very cheap but good meals available. I got egg fried rice for 2 dollars, as well as a coconut and strawberry soft serve for the same price. There's supposed to be live music but apparently that has been put on hold because of covid. Would definitely be great to see that return. Most of the stalls sell the same cheap knock-off clothing items and apparel that is a dime a dozen in these other markets in the city. Would love to see some locally made goods available.

The clothing stall section was small and there was someone singing on a stage. We enjoyed the food section where we chose skewers to be cooked and bought some sugar cane juice. All of the food was delivered to us as we sat on the mats on the ground. We paid after we ate.

There are a few food vendors here where the locals come for food then sit on large mats that are provided. Condiments containers are dotterel over the mats allowing you to spread out. There is a stage and when we were there a female singer was up singing. Not sure who she was entertaining as no one was stood watching here. The stalls are all tourist tat or designer bags / clothing but I think designed in a sweat shop somewhere. There are lots of tuk tuks outside if needed. We walked the market in 10 minutes.

Not that amazing. Was expecting a lot more. Unless you want sandals, shirts and fake clothes. The back of the market was the best place. You can eat street food for about $1-3 usd and sit on mats and people watch.

Great locals market. Full of people who've come to meet friends, eat (very cheap) street food and browse the shops. Local performers singing to a appreciative crowd. Great place to hang out.

Visit to night market not all that thrilling. Stall after stall of the same thing. Fake copies of designer clothes, jewellery and watches. Watch out for pick pockets who work in groups to case you specially if you are a foreigner. Try to keep things to a minimum i.e. back packs and handbags. Travel without these as too much to keep a tab on. Keep things in sight and only carry what you need. Cheap eats, but be aware if you dine there must take off shoes to sit on the mats in the quad. Entertainment on stage live singers.

Visited the place few nights ago, it has around 10 halls of clothes, five each side. Most of them have the same items so it's boring. Live music. Food in the back is mostly everybody selling meat... The best thing about the market was the coconut ice cream from the couple on the left side!

Polyester Heaven. Lines of garish shirts in polyester, which would be like wearing a plastic bag in Phnom Penh heat.
Nothing priced, of course not, they want to look the mug up and down and make up the price on the spot.
I did ask what a polyester T shirt cast. Nothing special, no famous name on it - $10!!
It was a great struggle to keep a straight WHITE face.
Some food sold and mats laid down to sit on to eat. For me it might have been $6 for a stir fry.
