Where It Will All Begin

Psar Chaa, also known as the Old Market, is right in the heart of Siem Reap and stands out as the city’s most famous shopping spot. Travellers who love diving into cultural experiences, similar to the guests at Anantara Angkor Resort who explore local markets as part of their cultural activities, will feel completely at home as they wander through its vibrant stalls filled with wooden carvings, silver jewellery, and aromatic spices.

Shop After Sunset

As the sun sets, the Angkor Night Market bursts into life, illuminated by the warm glow of lanterns and buzzing with energy. It’s the perfect spot for savvy shoppers looking for unique handmade jewellery, locally crafted artwork, and eco-friendly accessories. If you’re used to the carefully curated experiences at luxury hotels in Siem Reap, you’ll find that this market offers a similar vibe of delightful exploration.

Made In Cambodia

This market is a vibrant showcase of products made by talented Cambodian artisans and social enterprises. It’s the perfect destination for mindful shoppers looking for handwoven textiles, organic skincare, and upcycled treasures that come with a true story behind them.
