Slice of Life
Dec 2022
I wandered through the Russian Market to see how average folks shop in Phnom Penh. I love these markets in SE Asia. Here they sell almost everything, and it is an excellent place to just watch people. My guide and I enjoyed a stir fry lunch and ice coffee at a little food stand in the market ...... lunch for two was $5. The great thing about Cambodia is that everybody/everyplace accepts USD, so no currency conversions are necessary. I would definitely recommend a stroll through this Market.

Ok, as markets go...
Dec 2022 • Couples
This market has a bit of everything.
A wet market, clothing, shoes, some restaurant and drink stalls, souvenirs, paintings, sculptures, even a section with car parts!...
Was ok, but if you have been to any other markets in SEA then this one is pretty much the same.

Interesting Experience
Apr 2023 • Couples
Extensive market with something for everyone.

However, it is very crowded and hot during the day (and at night I would guess).

Good for the seasoned traveller and bargain hunter.

An experience nut not for everyone. The Central Markets are probable a little easier to negotiate.

Nothing exciting
Mar 2020
If you are looking for cheap Chinese stuff this is the place but expect everything terrible quality, we were looking for souvenirs from the place, at least a magnet but they were all awful and only a few local things. I didn’t like it was a waste of time.
Encontrarás aquí solo cosas chinas de terrible calidad, yo buscaba algún souvenir o cosas locales y no encontré, solo unos cuantos imanes para el refri pero horribles, ni siquiera compré uno, y un par de otras cosillas pero baratas, no compré nada, fue una pérdida de tiempo

My favourite market in Phnomh Penh
Feb 2023 • Couples
A market where you can buy almost everything for pretty cheap prices (not quite the variety of markets in Bangkok or so but still good) . Markets luckily seem to be less bargaining based so even tourists will get a pretty good price up front. The food court is amazing - try the special mango vinegar that every food stand in the market has, it's delicious!

Great place to find cheap souviners
Jan 2020
It is a cramped place to buy and haggle for souviners. Be sure to offer 50% offer the stated price then meet somewhere in between. generally the prices here are much cheaper compared to other tourist towns such as Siem Reap. Only be prepared for hot and stuffy atmosphere and plenty of bargaining. The vendors speak a variety of languages such as English , Khmer , French , Malay, Mandarin so communication not a problem here.

Locals Swear By It But Central And Night Markets Are A Better Bet
Jun 2022 • Solo
Multiple locals told me I had to visit the Russian Market during my stay in Phnom Penh, and even though I had already been to the Central Market and Night Market, I decided to give it a shot.

One thing that you need to know before going here is that this market is pretty tight-quarters. Do not go if you are a claustrophobic person. It's also closed-air which means it gets pretty hot during the day and also traps all the different scents and aromas in one place (put on my mask as it just wasn't a pleasant smell in some areas).

I will say there is a ton of different things and sections to browse, only problem is that most of the stuff sold is knock off or cheap Chinese stuff. I bought Angkor Beer and Tiger Beer shirts for 8 bucks together, but other than that nothing really caught my attention.

Ultimately I think the Central Market is more pleasant to walk around, and the Night Market's close proximity to Riverside also makes it a better bet as well.

Not-so-russian ;P
Feb 2020
Prior to visiting PP, I read reviews which recommend Russian Market. However when I visited this market on my second day of sightseeing, I felt some disappointment as I couldn't make the major difference between this market and Central Market. I looked at the goods and its prices and they are just slightly more. Personally, I felt 'cheated' as I spend extra dollars to visit this market which was more southern than the ten-minute walk I spend to Central Market. Nonetheless, it was a good experience as it was off my list ;)

Good to browse and get some bargains in the process
Nov 2019
The Russian market (ToulTumpong Market is like any other market in south east asia with any and everything for sale. We bought some 'knock-off' scarves for a great price. You have to bargain real hard. It can be hot inside even though it is covered from the sun.

Wander through the market
Feb 2020
It’s very average and over rated . If you visit other markets around the country or this city you’ll find them
more colourful . Nothing exceptional about it so if you’re after bits and bobs shop else where where is not so enclosed and like a sauna!
