Old Market Phsar Chas: ផ្សារចាស់ Street 13, between Streets 108 and 110

Phsar Chas is a typical traditional market geared to the locals, carrying fruits and vegetables, meat, hardware, clothes, and auto parts. During the late afternoon shopping hour along Streets 110 and 108 the streets are lined with produce and meat vendors, live fish and prepared foods stalls, all making for a confusing, colorful, photogenic scene. There has been a market near this site since at the earliest days of the French colonial period when it sat next to a now reclaimed river inlet. Map Area F-10
