Psar Russian ...Phnom Penh (Toul Tom Poung)
One of the great shopping spots in Phnom Penh is the Psar Russian (Russian Markets). Anything and everything can be bought and haggled for here. I bought some amazing silks and bed covers. Each shop keeper was friendly and not pushy. It really helps if you have a local friend to help you shop and barter. I was lucky to have Sophear with me and in some cases because of her local status and fluent Khmer I was getting 80% off the original price.

The food on offer was amazing. Everything from ten different types of shrimps, snake or various types of Tarantulas!!! Just be careful not to buy any animal that is deemed to be under protection as this caries a large fine.
