Central Market (Psah Thmay)
Phnom Phen's most obvious landmark looks more in style with a
Star Warstrading post then most earthly structures. Inside
the tall dome is a host of goods, from watches, to jewellery,
clothing and food. Much of the market's merchandise is the same, so
comparing prices to find the real value is advised. One should
bargain hard but good-naturedly. Surrounding the structure is a
ring of tightly packed vendors selling similar wares. Its central
location is walkable from about anywhere but all taxis know
'central market'.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken,
but English is fast becoming popular with the younger
generation.
Money
Riel (KHR) is the official currency and is divided into 100 sen.
Foreign currency is difficult to exchange with the exception of US
Dollars. Most transactions require cash. US dollars and Thai Baht
are accepted, although smaller transactions are usually done in
riel. A torn US dollar note renders it useless. Credit cards are
only accepted in a limited number of tourist-orientated hotels and
restaurants in Phnom Penh and larger towns. There are a few ATMs in
Phnom Penh, but they shouldn't be relied upon as a source of money;
travellers cheques in US dollars or sterling can be cashed at a
limited number of banks and larger hotels, though travellers
cheques are not recommended due to limited acceptance.
