Most people fo the Psar Char - the old market but do wander across the river to the Art Market.
Prices are much better there, less crowds and better service.
Visit Monyrasom at 11G for your purchases. I always drop in and buy something there.
His prices are excellent and the range of goods is always extensive for Kromas, t-shirts and other Cambodian knick knacks.
He is most friendly and welcomes you like a long lost friend as they all do in the Art Market.

I'd like to clear up a bit of confusion. There is a place called the night market which has apparently lost its vibrancy. I had seen the Art Market on the google map and asked our tuk tuk driver about it. He called it the New night market, but knew its location. So if unclear, be sure to specify the one over the river from the Big Market. This is pretty much a clone of the souvenir section of the Big market. We weren't there long as our shopping was finished but it appeared to have more shops. It's open in the evenings which is good for cooler shopping. To get there on foot go to the river bridge at the SE corner of the big market. It's across the river and South a short way. Can't miss it. I've given it a 5 because I just love these souvenir markets, you never know you might run across a hidden treasure. Haggle, haggle, haggle, state your bottom price and walk away. Maybe you can get a good deal. Enjoy!

To reach it just cross the bridge at the entrance to Pub Street.
There is also a market right before the bridge and I suggest you visit both.
As a matter of fact if you are enough days at Siam Reap you should try to visit most of these markets.
Not only to buy souvenirs or other items but to enjoy an evening in markets of a different culture.
The prices are usually cheap but if you bargain' you won't be able to cut the prices as in China or some of the Thailand markets.
And as always, when you bargain, please don't forget that a price difference of 1$ is not really significant to us, but for the locals, it means one day food for a whole family

The 'art night market' is barely any different from the regular night market. It's the same cheap touristy souvenir crap, but more expensive than at the other market. There's no art here, you'll need to go to a proper art shop for that sort of thing. It is slightly less crowded than the regular night market, but also much more expensive. If you want actual artsy or antique goods, try the Old Market. This place is a touristy bust.

Do have some prices in mind, so that you know how much to bargain, otherwise the prices will be exorbitant. Small and can walk in less than 1 hr.

Cross over the river at the little bridge from the old market to find a newer market where the products are cleaner and brighter with slightly better prices.

I have been to night market in Chiang Mai, Thailand as well as Hanoi, Vietnam Night Market so my expectation, the Siem Reap would have the similar night market.
Unfortunately, the market was not as good as I imagined, clothes: similar like clothes in Bali and the price in this market was expensive. Everything was in USD (if you want to pay with Cambodian riel then the rate they used was so high 1 USD = 4000 Cambodian riel)
Another thing to remember the market closed at 10pm. I was told from the hotel that the market was opened till 11pm or midnight so we were not in a rush to shop, we went out for dinner first then when we came back to shop, they were all about to close the shop :(

While I can understand the need for locals to earn a living, selling mass produced and cheap Chinese clothing (including imitations) and souvenirs is only benefitting the country that produces this rubbish. If you want to really help the people then buy your souvenirs at the “Made in Cambodia” market in Siem Reap - really good quality, made locally and lovely stall holders.

T-shirts and lots of food. Not a lot of art to be found around here. From the outside it looks interesting, but from the inside it is really dissapointing.

There is a good selection of crafts here and I was assured they are all made in Cambodia, unlike much sold in the street apparently. The prices are at least three times higher and it is hard to browse in peace as you are followed by smiling friendly assistants as soon as you enter. I found this really off putting and as a result didn't buy anything and hence the low rating for what is clearly good quality merchandise. I guess this is the way in Cambodia but I find it very hard to shop with someone constantly at my elbow promising ' good price '

Hi, I too am searching for oil paintings, in particular paintings of local houses in the rice fields. I am travelling to Cambodia late Dec. Let me know where you found any paintings that you found or galleries that offer this. I am not looking for expensive paintings either . . just pictures that depict Cambodian rural life. Many thanks if you can help me too. Kindest Regards, Carol

I'll be going to Siem Reap this weekend and am interested to find local oil paintings as souvenirs. Not looking for the 'art gallery' type of paintings, but rather a 'street artist' type.
Can anyone suggest where I can find them? Do they sell it at the night market?
Written October 26, 2016
I think you can get it in the market. Go to the old market. And The seam reap art night market is in front of it. Cross the bridge.

What's the operating hours for this market? Somehow like Bangkok night markets that open till wee hours?
Written May 13, 2015
I think the market closed around midnight. It was open at lunch time around 12 when we were there. Possibly opened at 10 am,.
