Russian Market Phnom Penh

This is what one of the review of Tripadvisor review about this market : It is a cramped place to buy and haggle for souviners. Be sure to offer 50% offer the stated price then meet somewhere in between.

The first photo is one of the alley that can be found in Russian Market . It was true that this pack is so pack and cramp full of people. I just be lucky there is not many people in those alley so i can take a clear picture of the market . This place is quite far from the central area so not many tourist come to this place. The price is far more cheaper than the central market , and we can still bargaining the price , the only thing is this place is so small and cramp.

Not so Russian

I try to look why they call these place Russian market , and i actually didnt see anything about Russian that i can related at this place . But when i search online , this place actually expat population for Russian back in 80's Source , but i guess there is no Russian architecture to be found in this market or maybe it just i cant see any of it around the market.

Friendly people of Cambodia

The seller is quite friendly. Maybe they used to see foreign tourist to come there. Even the old seller trying to explain and respond to my question. In some part , i have some experience being drive away by the seller because they cant speak any English. I can say , Russian Market is good place to visit if you come to Phnom Penh . Not because the price is cheaper than central market and you can bargain a lot with the seller but they also provide good information to tourist.

The rest of picture is some picture that i take when walk around the market. Hope you like it , see you in another post.
