What to See at Angkor Night Market
The Stalls
More than 200 bamboo-hut stalls sell clothing, silk paintings, traditional shadow puppets, and wood and stone carvings inlaid with silver or brass — many run by local artisans and NGOs rather than mass importers. The “Angkor Recycled” stall is a standout for bags and accessories made from recycled materials.
Section A — Bars and Live Music
The market’s bar cluster, including the long-running Island Bar, has a relaxed atmosphere with live music from local and international performers most nights.
Khmer Massage
A genuine highlight rather than an afterthought — traditional Khmer massage using natural herbs and local white wine, typically around $20 USD per hour, at dedicated stalls inside the market.
