When you visit Psar Orussey, or Orussai Market, allow at least 3 hours it is an amazing experience.

 

Orussey Market is Centrally located in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Orussey Market is much more geared towards locals than tourists; hence you will not find as much in the way of souvenirs you need to go to  the other markets. You will find a huge array of foodstuffs on offer including the wet market with fresh meat, poultry and seafood. Other items in abundance include house ware, hardware and electronic goods.

This 3-storey market, located only a few hundred meters South west of Central Market is a true maze, it has been described in another Blog as "a Khmer version of Alibaba’s Cave." Our friend Ian chose this market for us to see because it is mostly used by locals and not tourists.


Orussey Market has multiple entrance doors and parking spaces, i
ncluding one...on the rooftop! Go there in the morning, before th
e burning heat starts hitting. This is also the time when most of the action is taking place. You will see on multiple vans coming from all the provinces and getting filled with household items, rice bags -- and even live cattle -- by drivers with a true talent for piling and rope tying all these items so they don’t fall off during their journey on Cambodia’s bumpy roads.
