Containing of four huge wings full of stalls selling gold as well as silver jewellery, ancient coins, ingenious watches, clothes and other such items, this market is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The fresh-food area provides photographers with many opportunities to capture many stunning pictures. For your lunch time, enjoying a traditional meal in one of many local food stalls situated on the western side, facing the Monivong Blvd is claimed to be the best option. Psar Thmei is definitely the best market for browsing. However, it has a strong belief among almost Cambodians for overcharging on most of the products.
