Explore the Central Market (Psar Thmei), a large market constructed in 1937 in the shape of a domed structure with four wings extending into vast hallways.
The market is filled with countless stalls selling a wide range of goods, including gold and silver, antique coins, money exchange services, books, flowers, food, fabrics, shoes, souvenirs, seafood, and many other local products.
Walk along the riverside and enjoy fresh air before embarking on the Cambo Cruise. From the deck, take in the stunning sunset views over the river and city skyline.
