Locals shopping at the outdoor market.
Although there are several covered markets in the city that cater to tourists and locals alike, to get a better sense of the native culture check out the outdoor street market to rub elbows, quite literally, with the locals. We only had one full day in Phnom Penh and it was the first destination of our trip so we opted not to shop like the tourists at the local markets. Instead, as we were exploring the riverfront we discovered the truly local market on one of the side streets off Sisowath Quay. As we explored, we were swept into the melee of locals bargaining for fresh produce and meats while trying to dodge motorbikes weaving through the crowds. It was a great way to experience daily life in the city firsthand. And it's also a great place to bargain for cheap, local goods and food. I highly recommend taking a walk through the crowded street market for an unique cultural experience, if nothing else. And if you're looking for a place o get away from other tourists this is definitely it. We didn't see another tourist during our excursion. On the whole the experience made me wish that I had a kitchen at my disposal so I could utilize all the wonderful goods for sale here!
