Random shots from the dry-goods section of the Psah Thmey (Central Market) in Phnom Penh. Most, if not all, of these RTWs, that stands for ready-to-wear, are surplus (branded) from the many garment factories in the city.

APAD 206: Psah Touch (small market)

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!

APAD 171: Souvenir Cambodian Tshirts

Posted by The Insider on Oct 6, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, That's My World, What's On in Cambodia | 7 comments

Tourists who want to bring home a piece of Cambodia are not disappointed because there are hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of souvenir shops all over the country. Ranging from beautiful silk cloths to  Angkorian and Buddhist-themed carvings, to silverwork and precious and semi-precious gems, to the most traditional  souveniris of all Cambodian souvenirs – the krama, a checkered, multi-purpose scarf unique only to Cambodia. However, most young tourists still prefer pretty funky Tshirts with deSIGNS like below:

Funky deSIGNS. I especially love the DRUNKNMUNKY shirt, don’t you?

They are made of cotton, come sin different colours, and sizes and they’re sold less than the price of a cheeseburger – so cheap!
