Phnom Phen

Tours this morning include the Royal Palace and the Cambodian National Museum. Afternoon tours are the Killing Fields and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum.


I am visiting the Central Market (Pshar Thmey) where I can find items of statuary, silverwork, silks, kramas, carvings, books, postcards, flowers and clothes, while the back of the market houses butchers, produce and food stalls. I found two blouses, 2 powder blue silk pillowcases embroidered in gold and a silk shoulder bag . Also, found a pair of 100% silk woven lounge pajamas.

The Vietnamese people have such small frames and they are so thin, that most of the clothing I looked at would fit a very young teen in the U.S., certainly not an adult woman.
