10 Best Night Markets in Cambodia
Night markets are where Cambodia truly comes alive. As the tropical heat fades, bustling open-air bazaars spring up with sizzling street food, handmade crafts, cold beers, and the infectious energy of locals and travelers mingling under string lights. Here are the 10 best.
What are the best best night markets in Cambodia?
The top 3 night markets are Angkor Night Market in Siem Reap (largest, most tourist-friendly), Phnom Penh Night Market on the riverside (most authentic local vibe), and Kampot Night Market (most charming small-town atmosphere). All are free to enter.
Angkor Night Market
The largest and most famous night market in Cambodia. Hundreds of stalls selling silk scarves, temple rubbings, silver jewelry, and Cambodian artwork. Live music stages, massage huts, and an island bar create a festival atmosphere.
💡 Insider Tip: Visit on weeknights to avoid crowds. The back alleys hide the best artisan stalls.
Phnom Penh Night Market (Phsar Reatrey)
A sprawling riverfront market where locals outnumber tourists 10-to-1. Clothing, electronics, and street food dominate. The food court section has dozens of stalls selling everything from grilled seafood to Khmer desserts.
💡 Insider Tip: Friday and Saturday evenings are busiest. The food stalls along the river side are best.
Kampot Night Market
A charming riverside market with a relaxed small-town feel. Known for fresh pepper-seasoned dishes, river fish BBQ, and handmade crafts from local artisans. Live traditional music on weekends.
💡 Insider Tip: Try the Kampot pepper crab from the seafood stalls — it's the town's signature dish.
Made in Cambodia Market
A curated market showcasing only Cambodian-made products. Social enterprises, ethical fashion, handmade soaps, and artisanal foods. Higher quality than typical tourist markets.
💡 Insider Tip: Open daily from 5 PM. Many stalls support NGOs and fair-trade cooperatives.
Street 60 Night Market
A newer, less crowded alternative to Angkor Night Market. More local vendors, better prices, and an excellent food court with Khmer BBQ, noodle soups, and fresh juices.
💡 Insider Tip: Walk past the first row of stalls — the deeper you go, the better the deals.
Kep Night Market
A small but legendary seafood-focused market right on the waterfront. Blue crabs, grilled squid, and prawns cooked to order with famous Kampot pepper. Plastic chairs, ocean views, and cold Angkor beer.
💡 Insider Tip: Arrive by 5 PM for the freshest catch. The crab with green Kampot pepper sauce is unmissable.
Noon Night Market
A modern container-style market popular with young Cambodians. Trendy food stalls, craft cocktails, live DJ sets, and Instagram-worthy decor. A glimpse of Cambodia's emerging youth culture.
💡 Insider Tip: Best on Friday and Saturday nights. Come hungry — the fusion food stalls are creative.
Battambang Night Market
A laid-back riverside market showcasing Battambang's famous oranges, rice wine, and traditional sweets. Local families gather here for dinner, making it one of the most authentic market experiences.
💡 Insider Tip: Try kralan (bamboo sticky rice) — Battambang's signature street snack sold at every stall.
Russian Market Evening Stalls
While the indoor market closes at 5 PM, the surrounding streets transform into an evening food paradise. Khmer BBQ restaurants, noodle carts, and fruit shake vendors line the lanes.
💡 Insider Tip: The BBQ restaurants on Street 444 offer unlimited grilled meats for $5–$7 per person.
Sihanoukville Night Market
A beachside market near Serendipity with seafood BBQ stalls, souvenir shops, and cheap cocktails. More touristy than other markets but the beachfront location is unbeatable.
💡 Insider Tip: Prices are higher than inland markets. Bargain firmly and eat at the local stalls, not the tourist ones.
