Angkor Night Market Siem Reap: Shopping, Street Food and Bargaining
Contents
The Angkor Night Market is where Siem Reap goes shopping after dark: a bonanza of stalls, food vendors and bars, and a good place for a lesson in bargaining.[1] It slots neatly into an evening after a day among the temples.
Plan your evening
Come hungry and unhurried. Walk the stalls first, then stop where something smells good. Check the name and map pin of the market before you set out, because several markets in Siem Reap use similar names, and ask your hotel to point you to the right entrance.

Shopping and food
Ask the seller for the price and the currency before you buy, and whether it covers one item or a set. Bargaining is part of the fun here: a polite question about a combined price for two or three items often works, and a smile helps when the answer is no.
If food vendors are open when you visit, look at what is cooking, ask what is in a dish and eat where the grill or wok is busy. For wider trip planning, see our Cambodia travel guide.
