Siem Reap Old Market (Phsar Chas)

Petty crime is the only safety category that matters for 99% of Siem Reap visitors — and even that is quieter here than almost anywhere else in Southeast Asia. The US State Department lists bag-snatching and market pickpocketing as common incidents country-wide, but those are primarily a Phnom Penh concern.

Keep casual clothing culturally appropriate (sleeveless or low-cut shirts and shorts above the knee are inappropriate for most parts of Cambodia, though they can be seen in more touristy areas). Yoga pants can be worn but generally in combination with a long shirt or similar clothing to ensure modesty.

Located in the heart of Siem Reap, the Old Market (Psar Chaa) is the city's most iconic and popular shopping destination. It's a one-stop shop for everything from souvenirs to fresh produce, making it a must-visit for tourists.
