Shirts cheaper than burgers. Bargain?

There are a lot of bargain sales around Phnom Penh lately. There are hundreds of shops, if not more, selling clothes for men, women, and children all over Phnom Penh. Most are factory overruns and the rest come from Thailand, HK, and even China.

The above men’s shirts cost cost less than a fastfood budget meal. But out of these great number of shirts available, my main concern is not the price itself but getting the best quality out of these selections. If needs a good eye to spot the better ones and lots and lots of patience to go through the lot under the baking sun.

This is where I buy our stocks. It is a relatively small market with dry and wet sections. It does get really busy especially in the mornings when, perhaps, half of the population in our commune, prefer to shop.

It’s a bit dark and dingy but I enjoy the incredible sights, sounds, and smells that I encounter every time I come here. I love going to markets and that’s one thing I make sure I do whenever I’m in another country. If you want to see the culture and meet the locals, this is one of the places to visit!
