Alison in the depths of Phsar Kandal

Phsar Kandal or Kandal market is a sprawling, low-slung market full of fresh produce. Locals meet here at the noodle bars or come here to buy meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. The character of the market is very Vietnamese as there is a large population of Vietnamese people in this area of Phnom Penh. Despite being only one block away from the riverfront, few tourists venture into its dark interior, which makes it all the more sweet for those of us who do! The markets also house tailors, jewellers and electronics stores as well as fortune tellers and beauty parlours... something for everyone!
