The dark-yellow Art Deco Phsa Thmei (New Market)
is also referred to as the Central Market, a reference to its location and size.
It was constructed in 1935 37. The Art deco building is shaped in the form of a
cross with a nice central dome. And has four wings filled with shops selling
gold and silver jewelry, antique coins, fake name-brand watches and other such
items. Around the main buildings are stalls offering Krama (checked scarves),
stationery, household items, cloth for sarongs, flowers and second hand clothes,
usually from Europe and the US. For photographers, the fresh food section
affords a lot of opportunities. There are a host of good value food stalls on
the structure's western side, which faces Monivong Blvd. Central Market is
undoubtedly the best of Phnom Penh's markets for browsing. It is the cleanest
and has the widest range of products for sale. Opening hours are from early
morning until early evening.
