Ryan's Guide to the Russian Market Area

Ryan's Guide to the Russian Market Area - Phnom Penh, Cambodia

The Russian Market district, more commonly known as Toul Tompoung, is one of the best neighborhoods in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. A lot of expats call Toul Tom Poung their home, but tourists also make their way there - many in search of souvenirs at the Russian Market. This video will give you all the details you need to know to conquer the market; where everything is, how to shop for name brand clothing, how to barter, and more. Plus I'll share with you my favorite restaurants to grab breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'll show you a cafe and a bar that are both hard to find, but are amazing for people watching with views across the market streets.

We usually ask them "What is your bottom price" and walk away. The price can drop dramatically. Back in the 60s, Psa Toul Tompoung aka the Russian Market, there were some few shacks here and there with a lot of dirt roads around the area then. In late 1979 after the Pol Pot forces were defated, they started to open up the market but we did not have the Khmer currency yet so we had to trade everything with either gold or rice only. The Russians started to arrive and they like to shop there so they started to call it the Russian Market. That seems just like yesterday. We're coming this November and we can't wait. Be kind, be cool, and don't comb your hair!

I couldn't agree more. I've been living permanently in PP for over 10 years. I've been to the Russian market many times, but I don't know any of those places. You keep hearing about great places to eat in the Russian market but they can be hard to find. At least with the videos I'll have a chance lol

It's funny that many original brand like Nike, or Under armour are made and export from Cambodia to sell in Europe market, but in Cambodia itself import the fake produce to sell. Anyway it's a good price with acceptable quality. If you know anyone who working in the factory making those clothes you can buy an original t-shirt inexpensive from them.

150 th water festival ( Bun Om Touk) and 70th Anniversary Independent in November. Phnom Penh wows to have amazing fireworks, boat races, concerts, amazing boat parade at night and 3 days party and many more in waterfront of royal places. Hope you can attend and videotape. If yes, You should try to get hotel room so you can walk to the events.
