Description
No one remembers how this cluttered, upbeat covered market acquired its English name. Nothing Russian remains, but it does stock Phnom Penh's best range of CDs, DVDs, curios and souvenirs as well as very cheap, genuine clothing from top labels such as, Gap, courtesy of the kingdom's flourishing garment industry. Among aisles full of silk, scarves, bootleg movies and Bayon statuettes you will come across some genuine antiques--mostly clever copies. Popular with locals and expatriates, the market offers a bargain for everyone, so haggle well.
