This market is smaller than Central Market.\u00a0 You find clothes, textiles, silk, pirated DVDs, home decoration, wet market (fruit, vegetables etc), hawker cooked food. This place reminds me of a smaller version of Chatuchak Market in Bangkok.<\/p>\n

What this place is famous for is designer surplus clothes at very cheap prices.<\/p>\n

Brutally frank:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The challenge of shopping in this place is differentiating between the genuine designer surplus items, the fakes (yes, there are fakes too at this market; some obvious, some not so) and the \u201cgrey\u201d items.\u00a0 \u201cGrey\u201d items seem genuine but perhaps have a label inside that says made by some factory in Vietnam, Cambodia etc.\u00a0 Perhaps they are indeed genuine. It\u2019s just that they put on the wrong label inside. Or it was a surplus item so the factory simply sewed on its own label. \u00a0It\u2019s up to you to decide.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to keep in perspective that these items are so cheap, it doesn\u2019t really matter even if they are fake when you were hoping you snag a genuine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another challenge is finding your size.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t expect store-style shopping where they have items in all sizes and colors.\u00a0 Remember, this is a surplus<\/span> market. Very often, there is only one piece of an item.\u00a0 I don\u2019t mean one piece per size.\u00a0 I mean there is just one piece of a particular design. Please manage expectations about finding a design in another color\/ size.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are no changing rooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I bought a pair of Adidas shorts from the market for US$5 (I\u2019m quite confident it\u2019s genuine.\u00a0 It looks and feels genuine.\u00a0 Also, it has a genuine-looking Adidas label on the inside of the shorts).\u00a0 Other seemingly genuine items spotted (I didn\u2019t really spend too much time examining if they were genuine as I wasn\u2019t interested or it wasn\u2019t the right size etc) included GAP T-shirts, Banana Republic T-shirts, Aeropostale T-shirt, Adidas T-shirts, Nautica, Abercrombie and Fitch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides the stalls in the market, some shops surrounding the Russian Market also sells surplus designer items, albeit at higher prices (but still a great, great bargain). \u00a0No bargaining is allowed.\u00a0 The best of these shops is F.O.S (Factory Outlet Store).\u00a0 All genuine items.\u00a0 Imagine getting a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt for only US$25.95.\u00a0 Also spotted Emporio Armani, Boss, Calvin Klein, Abercrombie and Fitch, Levi\u2019s, Tommy Hilfiger among other brands.\u00a0 Air-conditioned.\u00a0 Fitting room.\u00a0 Sizes and colors available.\u00a0 Buy above US$100 and you get to become a member which immediately entitles you to 10% discount on your bill as well as future purchases. They also have a branch on Sihanouk Boulevard, near Independence Monument.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few doors away, Export 21 has many denim jeans in many brands (Calvin Klein, Levi\u2019s, Pull and Bear etc).\u00a0 Other apparel spotted: Billabong, Abercrombie and Fitch, Emporio Armani etc.\u00a0 Beware: there are also some clever fakes.\u00a0 Buy above US$100 and you get to become a member which immediately entitles you to 10% discount on your bill as well as future purchases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, at these shops, be prepared for lackadaisical, resentful sales staff.\u00a0 They will often tell you they don\u2019t have the size you want, not bothering to check, till you hand the item back to them, saying it\u2019s the wrong size.\u00a0 Only then will they check for the size you want for you.\u00a0 Perhaps they are resentful of foreigners who come and buy designer items by the truckload while they, the staff, have to be patted down by security guards every time they leave the store.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are no Western restaurants surrounding the Russian Market. There is only a KFC.\u00a0 Be prepared to fill up at KFC if you intend to spend a long time here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frankly, it is shopping at these designer surplus stores and getting all the great bargains that made my vacation in Phnom Penh. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

There are no Western restaurants surrounding the Russian Market. There is only a KFC.\u00a0 Be prepared to fill up at KFC if you intend to spend a long time here. Frankly, it is shopping at these designer surplus stores and getting all the great bargains that made my vacation in Phnom Penh. Highly recommended.","og_url":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/","og_site_name":"Luxe Food & Travel","article_published_time":"2012-04-22T06:05:54+00:00","article_modified_time":"2019-02-06T17:51:16+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1350,"height":900,"url":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120424-Russian-Market-Phnom-Penh_00007.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/8c5b39a5a0e966ec3fd5643744562a6c"},"headline":"Russian Market (Psar Toul Tom Poung) Phnom Penh","datePublished":"2012-04-22T06:05:54+00:00","dateModified":"2019-02-06T17:51:16+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/"},"wordCount":655,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120424-Russian-Market-Phnom-Penh_00007.jpg","keywords":["Asia","Branded","Cambodia","clothing","fashion","luxury","Phnom Penh","Russian Market","Shopping","South East Asia"],"articleSection":["Cambodia","Phnom Penh","Shopping"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/","url":"https:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/russian-market-psar-toul-tom-poung-phnom-penh\/","name":"Russian Market (Psar Toul Tom Poung) Phnom Penh -
