Hi everyone! I just moved to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap. I've visited a few times but I haven't had a chance to explore as fully as I'd like. So I'm asking for advice on the following, ideally within cycling distance of Riverside: - ...

Interesting about Thai Huot, I got the impression in Siem Reap that they're a bit overpriced. I'll check them all out.You are right, but it is just a matter of availability of some certain goods. There, you can mostly find European goods. ... Read More

For western supermarkets, you may wish to explore Thai Huot Market on street 63 in BKK area or on Monivong blvd near Canadia tower. Bayon supermarket is also good, by the way. a lot of good stuff there. Read More

Getting suits made in PP by toddbazley

Hey all, I'm looking for a decent place to get a few pairs of black suit pants and a handful of waistcoats made...Any recommendations? They need to be able to make them from measurements as they are for my wedding party and none of them live here!
