Chilling place. At first I was a little 'disappointed', as there are only signs where buildings used to be, but as you follow the audio guide and the tour the horrors catch up with you. At the tree the tears were rolling down my cheeks. My son was also very moved. We've been to Auschwitz and Birkenau, the parallels are obvious and it's very important to visit these places! We found the 'souvenir shop' somewhat unfitting in the setting. Wear clothes covering shoulders and knees.

Visiting the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center was a deeply emotional and reflective experience. The site is a stark reminder of Cambodia’s tragic history, and it’s important for understanding the country’s past. One of the best aspects of the visit was the audio guide provided with headphones, which allowed for a personal, quiet exploration of the grounds. The audio guide was incredibly informative and respectful, offering insights into the history and significance of each location within the center. The atmosphere is somber but serene, and it truly encourages you to pause and reflect. A must-visit for those wanting to learn about Cambodia’s history

Impressive place to visit. When you doubt of going here after visiting Tuol Sleng (S21) Genocide Museum (like I did) still go here; it's add real to understanding what happened.

You have to visit to understand the past and what happened here. The audio tour is really good. However, it is disturbing at times. The tree featured towards the end of the tour holds disturbing facts and atrocities about the past. It can be difficult for some to hear the information about what happened to the babies and children be warned.

It is really shocking to see this place but I am glad I was able to learn about the horrible history behind it. The audio guide is mandatory, without any guidance the place is just a bunch of random trees. You need someone to explain to you what happened. The audio tour is really good, it takes around 1 hour and it costs 6 USD for foreigners. Highly recommended during your visit to Phnom Penh.

This is one of the most emotionally moving places I’ve ever visited. As you walk through the serene grounds of Choeung Ek, it’s almost surreal to grasp the atrocities that occurred here during the Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s. The peaceful trees and grass-covered mass graves stand in stark contrast to the heartbreaking stories told through the excellent audio tour. What hit me hardest was the Memorial Stupa, towering yet silent, filled with thousands of human skulls and bones of the victims. It’s not just a monument, it’s a chilling reminder of the cruelty inflicted on innocent people. Displays of bone fragments, rusted tools, and preserved mass grave sites reinforce the unimaginable suffering. There’s a particular tree marked as the “Killing-Tree,” which was used in horrific ways. Hearing its story while standing beside it is something I will never forget. The signage throughout the site adds further context and reflection. I genuinely had tears in my eyes as did many others around me. It’s difficult, but necessary. Visiting this place ensures that we don’t forget, and helps ensure something like this never happens again. I wouldnt do the tour without the full audio addition. It's powerful, and very moving. Sunday 7:30 am–5:30 pm Monday 7:30 am–5:30 pm Tuesday 7:30 am–5:30 pm Wednesday 7:30 am–5:30 pm Thursday 7:30 am–5:30 pm Friday 7:30 am–5:30 pm Saturday 7:30 am–5:30 pm

I can't believe that this happened in the '70s and that Pol Pot was never truly brought to Justice. The audio tour was indispensable for understanding what happened here and throughout Cambodia. No study of communism should be complete without understanding the Khmer rouge.

Visiting both the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields was one of the most emotional and powerful experiences I’ve had in Cambodia. These places tell the story of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime — not through imagination, but through real evidence, preserved buildings, and the voices of survivors and victims. At Tuol Sleng (S-21), the entrance fee is $6 and includes an audio guide with headphones, available in about 10 to 12 major world languages — including RUSSIAN, which was a great help for me. You simply put on the headset, and as you walk through the former high school turned prison, the story unfolds in your own language. The museum is quiet and deeply respectful, filled with photographs, personal stories, and untouched prison cells. Later, when you come to the Choeung Ek Killing Fields, the experience continues, you walk through the field where thousands of innocent people were executed. The audio includes survivors’ stories and historical context, and there’s even a moment of silence built into the experience, allowing you to reflect. The stupa filled with victims’ skulls is a heartbreaking symbol, but it’s also a powerful reminder of what humanity must never allow again. Both places are incredibly respectful in how they present the past — not as a tourist attraction, but as places of remembrance and education. These visits are emotionally heavy, but absolutely necessary for anyone who wants to understand Cambodia’s recent history. I highly recommend both sites for anyone visiting Phnom Penh — not for fun, but for truth, reflection, and respect.

A difficult but essential visit to truly understand Cambodia’s recent history. This former school turned prison during the Khmer Rouge regime is deeply impactful. Walking through the cells, seeing victims’ photos, and listening to the audio guide (highly recommended) is a heavy experience that stays with you. It’s not an easy visit, but a necessary one to honor the memory of those who suffered here. 💡 Tip: Take your time and approach it with respect. This is not a tourist attraction — it’s a place of remembrance.

I must admit, at first I was not planning on visiting the place for obvious reasons, but then I changed my mind. And it sure was worth trying to understand Cambodia’s past. The museum is very well maintained and has a tranquille aura to it despite the horrible past. The outside yard as well as birds singing make the stories told by the audio guide more bearable somehow. When taking an audio guide you can learn alot and spend more time at the museum than expected. I was there for almost 3 hours. There are 4 building at Tuol Sleng, each one with 2 floors and a story of its own to tell. Some might find them too drastic, however all of us should know how this horror unfolded to spare our planet from repeating the same mistakes over and over again…

I'm touring in Phnom Penh and this place was recommended as part of things to do. Not knowing much about the history of Cambodia, I was still able to follow the narrative of the atrocities that happened at this place and the why's behind them. I used the audio guide which was good, and easy to follow. The guide has warnings if the images to be shown the next stage, would be graphic for some, leaving the listener to decide to go to the next section or listen to the audio outside. This was appreciated. The top floors of Buildings A and B, had some exhibitions which were informative. Overall a good place to go learn some tragic history.

Coupled with a visit to the killing fields, this is a very sobering but important part of Cambodia’s history. It is told graphically, but effectively. You can ask for an English speaking guide to take you round, or take the audio tour.

5 stars for an absolute must see to learn what happened here so hopefully it never happens again and don't believe Pol Pot is the only person to have done these atrocities or Cambodia being the only country. Over our history many countries have committed genocide. This museum has an audio tour with many details, your heart saddens

A well-maintained museum documenting a dark time in Cambodian history. I would recommend to make time for this if you are in Phnom Penh, in order to understand a little bit of the country's history.

Spectacular! A palatial and grand a you'd expect a palace to be! Grounds are gorgeous. Not allowed in some rooms, nor to take photos, and areas under renovation also not allowed in. Silver pagoda had the floors covered up so the full silver effect was not available on my visit.

Absolutely Breathtaking! A Royal Experience! 👑✨🇰🇭 This place is simply magnificent. A total feast for the eyes and a must-see if you are in town! 🤩 📝 A few important notes for my fellow travelers: 💡 Pro Tip on Prices: Heads up! 💸 Sometimes the prices quoted to tourists can be a bit... "optimistic" (aka high). I highly recommend visiting with a local friend or a guide. It makes things much smoother and helps with the bargaining! 🙏 Cultural Respect: What really touched my heart ❤️ was seeing the deep love and respect the locals have for the Royal Family and these sacred structures. It was genuinely beautiful to witness. Etiquette: Please remember to be super respectful and polite here. Dress modestly and soak in the atmosphere with reverence. 🤫 I have always loved this country, and experiences like this make me love it even more! Long live the King! 🤴🙌🇺🇸

We visited this palace on our first day in the city. Amazing site, so different to anything else you might have experienced before. Stunning colours, history and art. Life here is so diverse, wealth and abject poverty, vibrant colours and mud/litter. The palace certainly portrays a very affluent acceptance in a country with so many living with so little.

Be careful. Everywhere says it closes at 5pm but they stop visitors FROM ENTERING at 4pm to allow everyone currently on the grounds to be OUT BY 5 pm. This caught me off guard - but still returned the next day as they open very early at 8pm :). Beautiful grounds, temples, pagodas, and shrines. Don’t skip over the artwork all along the inner wall of the Silver Pagoda area - very interesting and not highlighted.

Stunning, magnificent and beautiful palace complex. The palace was first constructed by King Norodom between 1866 and 1870; but was largely demolished and rebuilt between 1912 and 1932. The palace's architecture is a mix of traditional Khmer design and French architectural influence, as seen in the gilded roofs, high spires, intricate carvings, and a layout that reflects both grandeur and harmony with nature. Gorgeous

This palace is epic beautiful. The structure, the architecture, the splendour, the landscapes and the gardens, the art work, every detail of this palace is unique. It’s difficult to catch its essence in pictures. And then there’s the Hall of the King which is inaccessible to visitors. Photography is also prohibited in this area. So the eye has to catch it all and stack away in memory. Worth a visit guys if you happen to be in Combodia. The Palace also has the King’s Residence and we happened to get a glimpse of his convoy which was disciplined and courteous. They ushered people to move away with dignity, no rudeness nothing.

Impressive buildings, but unfortunately most of them are closed to visitors, so you can only see them from the outside. There’s also little to no tourist information available to explain their history or significance. Overall, that makes the experience feel a bit overpriced.

(Translated by Google) I feel this place is not classified as a restaurant but warteg (Original) Saya merasa tempat ini bukan tergolong restoran tetapi warteg

The Museum was built in 1917-1920 by French colonial authorities. The graceful terracotta structure of the museum and its beautifully manicured courtyard garden form a soothing and serene relief to the busy streets nearby. The museum boasts of artifacts such as Buddha and Hindu statues depicting the rich history and culture of Cambodia's past

A Palace, A Time Machine, and My Sudden Awareness of Mortality Visiting the National Museum of Cambodia is like stepping into an ancient palace, the kind where history whispers, shadows linger, and you suddenly regret not paying more attention in school. The building itself feels untouched by time, as if renovations are merely a rumour and modernity politely waits outside with the tuk-tuks (who will try to scam you with 4-hour long trips around the city). Inside, you’re greeted with gorgeous artefacts, sculptures, relics, ceremonial objects, each more impressive than the last. And the Vishnus! They get progressively larger, as though the curators wanted you to understand exactly how tiny and spiritually underdeveloped you are. By the fourth one, I felt like a philosophical ant. The returned treasures, reclaimed pieces of Cambodia’s soul, are displayed with a quiet dignity that makes you want to stand a little straighter. These artefacts are not simply museum pieces; they’re reminders of a civilisation so advanced it makes our modern “smart” devices look like children’s toys carved from soap. Walking through the galleries, you feel the weight of history, the triumph of craftsmanship, the brilliance of Khmer culture… and also your own personal inadequacy for having spent so much of your life watching television. It is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Peaceful, enlightening, humbling; the kind of place where you look at thousand-year-old sandstone gods and think, “My greatest achievement today was not losing my hotel keycard.” In Phnom Penh, the National Museum is essential. Not because it’s flashy, or modern, or interactive (it is none of those things), but because it holds the heartbeat of an entire people. These masterpieces are the inheritance of ancestors who built empires, carved deities, and left behind beauty so profound even a neurotic tourist like me feels reverent. Go. Wander slowly. Admire everything. And when you leave, try to act like a person who just communed with greatness, even if you’re only heading to get iced coffee afterwards.

Lots of interesting artifacts but the lack of storytelling made this place boring. We felt like we were in hardware shop buying stones for our renovation. Pardon the comparison but that was our impression of the place. They should hire a real curator to manage this place. The entrance fee is USD 10 and to be very honest, it’s a total waste of money. Phnom Penh is a beautiful city so you might as well visit other places which will be worth your while.

A Must-Visit for History Enthusiasts and Cultural Guardians If you're visiting Phnom Penh, the National Museum of Cambodia is an essential stop—especially for those passionate about ancient civilizations and Hindu heritage. This museum is not just a building filled with artifacts; it is a living archive of Cambodia’s soul. Walking through its galleries, you’ll witness the grandeur of pre-Angkorian and Angkorian Hindu art, including intricate sculptures of Vishnu, Shiva, and other deities that once adorned the temples of a flourishing Khmer empire. These pieces offer a rare glimpse into the spiritual and artistic brilliance that shaped Southeast Asia centuries ago. What makes the museum even more compelling today is its role in the Khmer repatriated artifacts program—a national effort to recover cultural treasures looted during the Khmer Rouge era and smuggled abroad. Over the past 28 years, Cambodia has successfully repatriated more than 1,000 artifacts, many of which are now proudly displayed here. Recent returns include two “Guardian God” heads from the late Angkor period and 14 sculptures from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. These artifacts are more than stone and bronze—they are the souls of ancestors, as described by Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture. Their return has sparked renewed interest in the museum and a deeper appreciation for the resilience of Cambodian identity. Whether you're a history buff, a student of religion, or simply a curious traveler, the National Museum of Cambodia offers a powerful, emotional, and educational experience. It’s a place where the past is not forgotten but reclaimed—and where every statue tells a story of survival and return.

The Good Vibes -Many of the Khmer sculptures and artifacts have been described as “amazing,” “stunning,” and a true reflection of Cambodia’s cultural heritage. - The ancient Khmer architecture and central city gardens are aesthetic destinations, providing a cool place to soak it all in. - Cultural workshops (like weaving or dance classes) are trendy for hands-on experience.

The Cambodia Museum is a fantastic place to dive deep into the rich history and culture of Cambodia. The exhibits are well-curated, offering a fascinating look at the country’s ancient art, history, and heritage. The displays of Khmer art, ancient sculptures, and historical artifacts are impressive and educational. The museum is spacious, clean, and has a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot to learn while taking in the beautiful surroundings. The staff is knowledgeable and eager to share insights about the exhibits. It’s a must visit for anyone interested in Cambodian history!

Very interesting, beautifully set out. They have many sculptures from the temples in Siem Reap, Angkor Wat and others. A walk through history and there are many recuperated sculptures which were taken out of the country at some stage. A must for history and art lovers

The price is $1 for foreigners. The place is pleasant to walk around, you can get to the temple at the top. Many sculptures to admire! Can be done in less than 1 hour.

A visit to Cambodia has to include thus amazing site - absolutely stunning, and my second visit. Some 19/20 years on there is little change - other than the amount of tourists !! Seeing the sunrise behind the temple is superb, but arriving at any time is just as good. Allow at least a couple of hours to walk round, climb the steps to look across the temple, meet local people etc there's toilets on site, local stalls, food etc. There are numerous other temples well worth visiting around here. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings with an amazing history.

This is a Buddhist temple in the centre of Phnom Penh on top of a small hill. You can get great views of the city from here. Wat Phnom has a height of 46 meters. The pagoda is named after Lady Penh from the story of the discovery of the four Buddha statues and one Vishnu statue. There are a stupa, pagoda and temple at the site

Beautiful temple to visit while in Phnom Penh. The price of entry for foreigners is only $1 per person and definitely worth the price. The grounds are beautiful and not over crowded. Definitely recommend drinking plenty of water as there is a moderate hill to climb to get to the temple. Overall, one of the best attractions visited while in Phnom Penh.

Sights of Relics that will have you amazed and the gift shop is very awesome too. The tour guide are great at what they do so if you need one,one will be provided to give a glimpse of history.

It is worth a visit to Wat Phnom if you are in central Phnom Penh. It is the starting for all major highways in Cambodia as well as the legendary origin stories of our city. Even the name Phnom Penh, literally "the hill of Lady Penh", reinforces the centrality of Wat Phnom, as this pagoda is the hill that Lady Penh built to honour 4 Buddhist statues that miraculous floated down the river to her. Whether you believe the stories or not, come see the altars dedicated to Lady Penh adjacent to a Buddhist temple (a nice mixing of Buddhism and traditional shamanism). The pagoda grounds also feature a statue representing the return of Battambang and Siem Reap from Thailand to Cambodia, a reminder that the current Thai-Khmer problems are certainly not the first instance of friction between the two nations. Pro Tip There are a lot of cultural performances in the pagoda stage so check the schedule to see if anything is going on during your visit. Also, during Khmer New Year in April, this pagoda is the epicenter of music, dancing and water fighting for the whole of PP.

Went on a Sunday at around 5.30pm. They told me to put the $1 in a box, and no tickets were issued. Other than that, place was nice, beautiful buildings, and sunset was super awesome. Spent around 1hr and 10mins to take multiple photos.

Its a great traditional building of Cambodia showing beautiful architecture right next to where the king lives (though he wasn’t in the country when we went) it is very hot though so watch out for that espically since there is a dress code and you might need to wear long clothes.

🏛️ Overview The Royal Palace of Cambodia stands as a majestic symbol of Khmer architecture and royal heritage. Nestled in the heart of Phnom Penh, the palace complex offers a serene yet regal experience, blending cultural richness with architectural splendor. ✨ Highlights Architectural Grandeur: The palace features golden spires, intricately carved facades, and expansive courtyards. The Throne Hall is particularly impressive, with its soaring ceilings and ceremonial ambiance. Cultural Significance: As the official residence of the King of Cambodia, the palace plays a vital role in royal ceremonies and national identity. Peaceful Gardens: The landscaped grounds provide a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle, ideal for reflection and photography. 📝 Visitor Experience Accessibility: The palace is centrally located and easily accessible by foot or tuk-tuk. Entry procedures are well-organized, though some areas are restricted to visitors. Guided Tours: Available on-site, offering valuable historical context and insights into royal traditions. Photography: Permitted in most outdoor areas, but restricted inside key buildings such as the Silver Pagoda. ⚠️ Recommendations Best Time to Visit: Early mornings are ideal to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures. Dress Code: Modest attire is required; shoulders and knees should be covered. Language Support: English-speaking guides are available, though signage is limited.

Part of the entrance ticket to Royal Palace. Very cool place to see lots of amazing pagodas and buildings. Go early to beat the crowds. They also have a model of Angkor Wat which is very cool

The floor tiles of this pagoda are made of silver, giving rise to its name. Most of the floor was covered by mats or carpet, so it may not be noticeable if you do not pay attention. There were also the emerald and the gold Buddha statues inside the pagoda. Unfortunately photos of the interior is not allowed

I was very disappointed with my visit to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. When I bought the $10 ticket, I was not informed that most of the palace grounds were closed and that only the Silver Pagoda area was accessible. Had I known this, I would not have purchased the ticket. When I returned to the ticket office to request a refund or at least access to the imperial grounds, my request was refused without any explanation or alternative. I also spoke with a manager on site, a person introduced to me as Mr. Chivoin (I hope I have the name correct). Unfortunately, the conversation was very unprofessional. He accused me of being informed beforehand, which was not the case, and dismissed my concerns instead of addressing them. Overall, I felt misled and very disappointed. Visitors deserve clear information before paying, especially at a place representing the monarchy and national heritage. Please be careful when visiting—you may be charged full price without being told that major parts of the palace are closed. A beautiful place, but the lack of transparency and the way concerns were handled left a very negative impression.

The Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh is truly a must-see, especially for anyone who loves architecture as much as I do. This was my second favorite experience in the city, and it left a lasting impression. The pagoda’s design is both intricate and grand, showcasing traditional Khmer architecture with ornate carvings and delicate details that made me pause and take in every feature. The craftsmanship is astounding—each element feels like a testament to Cambodia's rich cultural heritage. We decided to visit on a Saturday morning, arriving around 9 a.m., hoping to beat the crowds. Despite our early start, the place was already bustling with visitors, all eager to take in the beauty of the pagoda and the surrounding Royal Palace compound. It’s clearly a popular destination, and for good reason! The energy from the crowd added to the experience, creating a shared sense of awe. The entrance fee to the Royal Palace, which includes access to the Silver Pagoda, is USD 10. Once inside the compound, the Silver Pagoda is just a short walk away, making it convenient to explore both sites in one visit. Inside, the emerald Buddha and the stunning silver floor tiles stand out as highlights. Though parts of the floor are protected to preserve them, the visible sections are enough to capture the luxury and historic significance of the place. For me, visiting the Silver Pagoda wasn’t just a sightseeing activity—it was an experience filled with admiration for the skill and devotion behind its creation. If you’re in Phnom Penh, don’t miss it!

The Silver Pagoda is a must see in Phnom Penh, connected to the royal palace, and it is better than the royal palace itself. Everything inside is accessible although there are some photography restrictions. The place is mesmerising and well maintained. I would absolutely recommend everyone to visit the place. Tickets cost 10$ for foreigners which also includes the royal palace.

If you’re after a nice broth, authentic Cambodian noodle soup (kuyteav), this is the place to go. I honestly think it’s the best kuyteav in Phnom Penh. My usual order is glass noodles or thick rice noodles with beef, beef meatballs, and braised pork organs, always hits the spot.

Honestly a very nice market. It is smaller in scale compared to central market. But the stalls here have everything. Mainly souvenirs stuffs. Managed to get some nice paintings also as well. Can spend at least 1 to 1.5hrs here.

The market is huge, a lot of items available here but it was quite messy. You can get lost if you come here for shopping. So make sure to be alert on the exit and shop. The market is a bit hot and have a bad ventilation system. It might be uncomfortable for some people to shop here plus the hygiene of this place can be improved. We didn't shop much here, only just looking through some of the items.

Its totally worth the ride, works untill 17hrs, entrance 10, the two stands at the first crossing were a hit, one sells the sneakers, sandals and shoes, across there is a stand that sells branded cloths, jeans, vests etc. I wear Hoka sneakers but the one I bought for unbellivable price here, I cant see the difference. Nike, Puma, New Balance, not my thing but my friends bought and say the same, feels good, looks good, totaly worth it. We run at the airports on the same models but the price was different sky high. I wore my pair in Angkor Wat tour, heavy hiking, its winter at my place so I store them until spring. I honestly regret for not buying more for the entire family. This market (Russian) is by far the most important thing I recommend in Phnom Penh, was sceptic at first and repulsed by the smell, but if I ever come back, I will bring a larger suitcase. Happy shopping!

can get very warm if you go during lunch time so wear light clothing and bring a fan with you. many interesting things to see and buy

This market is great, it has lots of things! You can buy souvenirs and decent local food here, for okay prices (you can bargain if you find it expensive).

one of the big market in Phnom Penh. You can find anything from fresh products, food and drinks (we had breakfast here which is nice), souvenirs etc. Opens early starting 6am. Worth a visit if you have spare time.

There is a long strip leading up to the monument that is in the roundabout. It is a nice area to walk around, gets very busy at night with people walking around and kids roller blading. It’s amazing how many independent statues there are along south east Asia all commending there freedom from the French.

The Independence Monument in Phnom Penh is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1958 to celebrate Cambodia’s independence from French colonial rule, it stands tall and proud in the center of a busy roundabout — shaped like a lotus flower, inspired by Angkor Wat architecture. While you can’t go inside, it’s still worth stopping by — especially during the day when the area is calmer and traffic lighter. At night, it’s beautifully lit, but also more crowded. There’s a nice park area around it where locals relax, jog, or sit in the shade. A good photo spot, a piece of history, and a peaceful moment in the middle of Phnom Penh’s buzz.

The Independence Monument is a tall, beautiful structure shaped like a lotus flower.I think this monument is truly special. Why visit it? It shows a big part of Cambodia's history and pride. It looks amazing to see, especially when it lights up brightly at night.

Beautiful scenery and building at night! Went on a Sunday night, and there was only a man sleeping within the monument. It's really worth the view, but just be careful when crossing the road to the monument, especially some cars and tuk tuks may drive quite fast.

It's a historical site with great Khmer genuinely architectural design for visit.

Nice place to visit away from the hordes of tourists, and free. Take a stroll instead of transportation.

It is one place that keep me excited once you enter, you will see many fitness enthusiast who are passionately doing many activities around Monument in morning & evening. Authorities are putting lot of efforts keep this beautiful place neat & tidy. which is a commendable thing .

A well maintained facility, very popular tourist attraction

Nice broad boulevard with excellent quality pavement. There are a lot of (sky) bars in the other side of the street that are worth visiting. The boulevard really comes to life in the evening, when the sunset is happening! There are a lot of boats here that offer sunset trips over the river. Recommend doing such a trip. Most boats also offer tickets with drinks included, which could be a good start of an evening out (:

Wark street

By Phnom Penh night market riverside street moment !

Nice area

This street turned into magic at night with vendors and street food stalls everywhere. I don't know whether this is daily or just weekends though, as I only visited during the weekend. It's not really special during the day.

(Translated by Google) Very nice on the weekend when everything closes and there are many stalls, live music, karaoke and parties... lots of people (Original) Molto bella nel weekend dove chiudono tutto e ci sono molte bancarelle,musica dal vivo,karaoke e festa.. tantissima gente

This is just such a lovely shop with an important mission. There are many beautifully handcrafted pieces. I found very unique gifts for my friends!

A really lovely shop with very friendly and polite staff. You can purchase different items that are made by the women employed by the organization and the staff explained us different things since we had some questions. They have a changing room to try on shirts e.g. you can also see a short video explaining the organizations goals and purpose. You can pay cash or by card. Definitely a shop where our money was well spend. Thank you :)

Great place to buy gifts for friends back home. We purchased two sets of earrings made out of denim. There are lots of trinkets and jewelry, but most of it is typical and even bland. It’s also a bit uncomfortable if you’re an atheist as there’s a lot of religiously themed items. But look carefully and you’ll find something. This supports a good cause but we didn’t do any research into the organization to see its effectiveness. We just trusted in good faith. We came for the cafe but apparently that closed during the pandemic.

I am posting on behalf of a group of year 9s who visited this organisation as part of a school trip. Lucy: It is such an incredible thing and so important to change the lives of these girls and help them. Nuna: It was really eye opening to see girls our age going through such horrible things but so inspiring to visit this amazing place where they provide such life changing opportunities. Remy: What these women are doing to help others is so inspiring. Dash: The cause these women are promoting is what we all need more of in the world, they’re liberating these less than hopeless women from a corrupt environment and/ or industry, and, in turn providing them a safe loving environment to work in, definitely recommend this experience for anyone coming through the area. Jackson. This has changed my full perspective of the matter and will for ever hold a place in my heart and mind, they’re people making all this amazing accessories are very passionate with their work because of how beautiful some of these earrings are, for my mum. Overall it’s a must see and must get some of these items for your family too. Saffron. While living everyday life in Australia, it’s easy to forget how privileged I am to have a home and no obligation to make money for my family as a teenager. Learning about the condition in which women are treated here was so precious and important, especially since we don’t focus these events enough. Leo. It was very eye opening to watch and learn about the people exposed to such a horrible industry. It reminds me how in Australia there’s rules and laws in order to protect women and children.

Please go support Daughters. They are doing amazing things, reshaping these women’s lives when they had lost all hope. There’s a nail salon, a shop, and you can see where they work upstairs as well.

Daughters of Cambodia is a wonderful cafe and shop with a fabulous cause. helping sex worker out of the industry and reclaim their dignity and respect💙 The food is absolutely great tasting and with some nice veggie and vegan options. Please I beg everyone who visits Phnom Penh to come and support this business by buying hand made goods and/or support there cafe upstairs with the river views. All the team members here are super friendly.b

Wonderful cafe/ shop with a fabulous cause; helping sex worker retrain out of the industry and reclaim dignity and respect! The food is great, with some nice veggie and vegan options. The shop downstairs has some great goods, which are all handmade by people who are paid a fair wage. Win win!

Very lively place. The stalls offer nice clothes, souvenirs and accessories. I loved the plaza were carpets were laid out so all the visitors could sit down on the ground with their drinks and snacks. Kids were playing around. There were very good vibes.

Lots of typical market items here to buy, didn't find any of the staff pushy at any point. Enjoyed the food section with dinner options and fruit juices, can eat together in a groups on the mats around. This market is close to the promenade and busy drinking area. Not too busy in the early evening. There was some live music as well.

I think got nothing much in the night market in term of items for shopping. Just enjoy the vibes here where many people, a lot of food stalls, there are people dancing and the strategic location. At night they will close the road along the river to become a walking street. There are many shops, pubs, and restaurant available at this area. Nothing much in the night market

There were stall which sell clothes and souvenirs but we came here for the food. Reasonable price (even-though I thought the price was higher compare to other street food in Indochina ie Bangkok or Hanoi). The menu quite the same between one and another food stall. We ended up choose pad thai and soup. After dinner we walked around to see local people sand with karaoke in the middle of the market

Frankly quite small and disappointing. Most of the stalls sell repeated stuffs. Like shoes and bags. There arent much souvenir stores here. Honestly central market would be so much better to go to.

We loved the markets and trying all different foods. Go, try something you haven’t tried before and enjoy taking in your surroundings.

Had a nice visit here easy to find and walk around. Loads of places to eat.

Aeon Mall Phnom Penh is one of the best shopping destinations in the city! The mall is spacious, clean, and well-organized, with a wide variety of shops ranging from international brands to local boutiques. The food court is impressive, offering everything from Cambodian street food to Japanese, Korean, and Western cuisine — there's truly something for everyone. I especially appreciated the air-conditioned environment, which is a great escape from the city heat. There’s also a large supermarket inside, a cinema, and plenty of entertainment options for kids and families. Parking is convenient, and staff are generally friendly and helpful. It’s a great place to spend a few hours shopping, eating, or just hanging out. Highly recommended whether you're a local or a tourist visiting Phnom Penh!

⭐ This Mall is EPIC! My 10/10 Happy Place! 🤩 Oh my gosh, you guys... if you're looking for a place that has EVERYTHING, this is it! 💯 This mall is a truly wonderful and fabulous experience. I’m not kidding, they have it ALL: 🛍️ Seriously, whatever you need, you’ll find it here. I mean, from CARS 🚗 to BEAUTY supplies 💄 and everything in between! It's so massive you could literally (and happily!) get lost exploring all the endless stalls. It's the perfect spot to find exactly what you're looking for in a foreign market. Here’s the breakdown of the AWESOMENESS: The Food Court (Ground Floor): 🍔🍜 It is LEGENDARY! We spent so much time here. We were specifically looking for clean and hygienic food options, and we were so pleasantly surprised. They have an incredible variety of delicious Cambodian snacks! 🇰🇭❤️ The Fun (Upstairs): 🕹️ There’s a super cool game section on the top floor that’s perfect for killing some time and having fun. The Shopping: 🏷️ You can find SO many famous brands here. My wallet is in trouble! 😂 Why I'll Be Back (Again and Again!): I've been here so many times, and I'll keep coming back because this place meets ALL my needs. And for travelers, it's a dream: Prices were great (no problem at all! 👍). Zero communication problems. Paying is SO easy! They take Cambodian Riel (៛), American Dollars ($), AND Thai Baht (฿)! How convenient is that?! VERDICT: I 1000% recommend this place. It’s my one-stop shop for everything! 🙌

We spend a lot of time here mainly for the food, especially because we’re looking for clean and hygienic options. It’s a pleasant surprise that AEON Mall offers such a wide variety of Cambodian snacks!

I originally went in to buy an iron, but a staff member convinced me that a steamer would be better and told me clearly that if it didn’t work for my needs, I could return it within five days. After trying it at home, I realized it was not suitable for my thicker clothing like blazers and skirts. When I returned to the store (within the five day policy), I was met by a staff member named Nath Chansokhalai, who made the return process unnecessarily hostile and embarrassing. Instead of listening to me as a customer or honoring what her colleague had told me, she seemed determined to prove me wrong , as if it were a personal challenge. She Instead she publicly demonstrated the steamer at the checkout counter, calling another staff member to hold up a shirt while she tried to show it worked. When I explained that I don't have someone to hold my clothes at home in this manner while I steam them (does anyone lol), she went around the store and found a clothing rack to come back and demonstrate again how I was wrong. Additionally, when I tried to explain that the items I needed to iron were thicker materials, work skirts and blazers, she crossed a boundary by bending down and grabbing my skirt that I'm wearing to see if I was correct about the material. This is not how customers should be treated. I followed the advice I was given by Aeon staff, acted within the return window, and was met with disrespect, crossing physical boundaries and public shaming. Ultimately she denied my request. Potential customers should be aware of this gross negligence and feral behaviour before purchasing.

Quite a simple shopping mall. Saw a few familiar brands from Singapore, such as Breadtalk, Burger King, KFC and Pepper Lunch. Ordering from the food court requires some techniques, something like IKEA, where you will pick up the food tag and pay at the cashier.

Foremost, there is a really good pharmacy on the 2nd level that has American products, like NyQul, vitamins, etc. The products sold here in the department stores, and other stores are of high quality that Japanese would only use. Other stores offer the same. Be advised that if you want a high quality bath towel, you will pay more than at a TJ Maxx, but it will be better than what you would get at a market. Found perfect wash cloth, snd I will be coming back for the towels, etc. Good choice of restaurants. Very clean mall. Nice staff, and a large supermarket on the ground floor. Better than the malls in Manilla, Makati City, and SM Mall in Santa Rosa.

AEON Mall Phnom Penh is a fantastic and popular shopping destination! This is one of the biggest and most famous shopping malls in Phnom Penh. It was actually the first AEON Mall built here. It offers an incredible variety of everything. Whether you need to buy clothes, electronics, groceries, or just want to enjoy a meal, you can find it all easily.

Wat Ounalom Monastery is a peaceful spot, though there isn’t much to see compared to other major attractions in Phnom Penh. It’s located near the riverside, making it a nice place for a quiet walk, and it’s also close to the National Museum, so it’s easy to combine the two in one visit. While the monastery may not have the same grandeur as others in the city, it offers a serene environment to reflect and enjoy the surrounding area. However, bear in mind that it can get quite hot, so be prepared for the walk if you visit during the daytime. It’s a good stop if you’re nearby and looking for a brief moment of calm.

Beautiful pagoda with bright gold and very detail ornaments. We are allowed to go inside the main building but had to open shoes. No entry ticket but ensure to take permition to go inside. Please use proper clothing (no exposure of shoulder and use below knee pants / skirts)

I've lived in Cambodia for about eight years and passed by it many times, but I finally went inside during the 2025 Pchum Ben. According to Wikipedia, it is an important temple in Cambodia, apparently built in 1443. It was incredibly beautiful, and I felt a profound sense of sacredness. It was my first time participating in the Pchum Ben ceremony, and it was a truly valuable experience. It may not be a famous tourist destination, but I recommend visiting it at least once.

I was lucky enough to see a ceremony for young monks at this beautiful Wat (temple). The temple’s architecture and style makes it calm and relaxing to walk around, please always dress accordingly and have manners when visiting a temple (same as you would in any other religious and worshippers place or building)

One of my favorite temples in PP. The entrance is free, it's open till late and it's so quiet, mysterious and peaceful at night. Highly recommended to escape the noise and the hassle of the streets. Cute cats around. Frangipani flowers look so nice in the winter season. Visited in December

Beautiful temple in Phnom Penh. I regularly donate food and water here, and the Abbott is very kind. Just be cautious—some taxi or tuk-tuk drivers offering help may give the wrong impression about the temple

It's a beautiful Buddhist temple. The architecture design of the temple both outside and inside is so attractive invite each and everyone with complete contention. Solace and tranquility better to find here. The huge drumming bell in left side of temple is significant and worthy. The decorations around the Lord Buddha is still great we feel. Many amazing idols could be seen here. Anyway, a colourful look of the temple is thrilling to look at.

Very unprofessional experience. We paid $32 for the french italian buffet at NagaWorld and it was absolutely not worth it. Food quality was disappointing, and service was worse. After finishing our meal, we realized there was another buffet section in a different room — no one informed us. When I asked, staff casually said, “Do you want some?” even though they were already clearing it out. Extremely disrespectful. They kept pushing for membership discounts but had zero preparation. When I inquired, they said, “Let me check with our VIP team,” and told us to wait 30 minutes. Totally unacceptable. Not coming back.

I went to the casino with a friend. You can enter without a passport, and there’s proper security so it feels safe. From the entrance, a golden world spread out before us. Photos weren’t allowed inside the casino, but they basically had everything—poker, blackjack, roulette, and slot machines. You can just bet the minimum and enjoy the atmosphere, or aim for a jackpot if you like. There are plenty of luxury brands and restaurants as well. It seems they even have promotions where your hotel stay becomes free if you play at the casino.

Stayed for 7 days and had an absolutely amazing time! The staff were wonderful and very courteous throughout our stay. The reception team were exceptionally friendly and efficient, making check-in and check-out quick and easy. Front Office Manager Joanna (Chit) was outstanding and very helpful, and Assistant Front Office Manager Joanne was equally amazing. Overall, a fantastic holiday with great food and lovely staff!

Buffet dinner at level 2 is very nice and international standard and price is reasonable. We really enjoyed the food and the service. The staff are friendly from the front guys to the restaurant. Highly recommend to all visitors.

Excellent resort casino. I came here to play Texas holding poker and there were three tables running of of hold'em and plo ..casino is fully y air-conditioned. I had lunch and they had lunch in a French restaurant which was excellent if a little pricing were very good. Thankfully I did not have to leave the casino today to go go to the other casino as there is a passage under the main road which is for the air conditioned and has plenty of talk talk level shops such as Gucci Tommy Hilfiger etc.

Had a good time playing poker here. I did wind up getting a cold/sick. Cigarette smoke here is a big problem and those who smoke have no respect for those who don't. Had a lady fire one up right infront of me while stuck on the elevator together in a confined space. Even in no-smoking areas your nose will burn. Place was a little more empty than I thought it would be.. wide open layout, seems like there are poor uses of space. I still enjoyed myself, I just wish it felt more classy... before this I was in Macau and boy was I spoiled there with luxury prior to my arrival here in Cambodia lol. I didn't see anything fishy either.. seemed like nice staff & very hospitable. Would recommend dumping profits back into the casino and create designated smoking areas that are confined. I'm telling you guys it is bad, it'll burn your freaking nose. Make sure you know which hotel you booked.. naga 1 or naga 2.. they connect each other underground so you can walk back and forth. Starbucks is down the road if you need it. Food is a little difficult imo.

Went to bar at L0 near east entrance to Naga Quite fun. Nice live music and adorable DJ interchanging G&T 8$

Mekong River at Luang Prabang. Stunning at sunset. There is a lot of rubbish on the riverbank though unfortunately

If you’re from Indonesia, this place will feel pretty ordinary, nothing special. Honestly, it’s not worth joining the day tour; it’s a waste of time and money. We booked it through Klook. The vibe feels just like back home in Indonesia, and there’s really nothing much to see, just a small river. The kayak trip only takes about 15 minutes before you turn back.

knock it out of the park# the best expericed in 2 days and. 1. Night# gaining insight into the daily lives of the people along the river# simple life. #must. Try

Journeying through the narrow Mekong waterways provides a unique and genuine window into a rich riverine culture moulded by natural elements, time-honored customs, and close-knit community ties.

Mekong River was a highlight of my trip while in Vietnam. It is a beautiful river. I had never really seen jungle before. It was all around us, and it was gorgeous. Our boat tour included going into a village. We got to try honey from a honey comb. It was so tasty. We got to have really tasty food. Holding a giant snake was awesome. We also got to see a couple of shops. They also took us down farther the Mekong River. It was so exciting seeing all of this.

Been on the Mekong in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. It is a beautiful river that varies across each country. When ever I visit any of the counties that the Mekong goes through, I make a point of getting on a boat and taking a trip. There is something mystical about the Mekong to me. To slowly travel along watching the countryside and people going about their business is so relaxing. I have been on many rivers in the world, but this is the greatest one of all for me.

Enormous river with classic old fashioned fishing skiffs and fishermen.
