Vrest hotel, Phnom Penh

Not allowed to enter from way in front of US Embassy

This is the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Cambodia. Located near the famous historical Wat Phnom, this governmental building looks very attractive since its structural designation follows the classic French architecture. Sadly, this nice-looking spot is just a governmental working place, which does not welcome tourist for visitation.

Great environment. I enjoy and surely you will also sure. However, it is also a bit pricey food expect for 5-7$/dish average and beer glass bottle of 330ml is around 4$/bottle. But yeah, great band and atmosphere.

Nice local dining and drinking place with Live Band performance and DJ options. Big arena with Stage view. Definitely recommend to go in a group to enjoy the vibe. Weekdays easy to get table faster, weekends might need to wait a bit, it depends on arrangements time taken by staff as they have surplus backup seating options.

Food is fast and delicious, atmosphere is nice , service is great, all singers in live music is so good

Great place to hang out with friends with great band who performed incredibly well. The name was Los Angeles Band. The food, the vibe, everything was great

So amazing time at The WATERS Pub and Eatery! The music was fantastic, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Especially the food Absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. Highly recommend this place for a great night out.

Discrimination at its worst against white solo foreigners! Don’t go there if you are not local and if you are solo. I came to this club alone on Tuesday at around 10:15 PM, well dressed and completely sober. At the entrance, I was told the club was “full.” (The previous night I came there at 12:00am and the same reason was given). I didn’t believe it, went inside through the other entrance, and found at least 10 empty tables available. Staff inside even allowed me to choose a table and order drinks (the minimum spend was 6 bottles of beer, their beer is warm). A short time later, the same staff member from the entrance came inside and told me to leave, claiming the table was reserved. Based on my experience, the explanation given at the entrance did not match the situation inside. If you’re visiting, be aware that entry decisions may be discriminatory.

Absolutely loved the vibe at Tōkio Club — the atmosphere is next-level and totally sets the mood for a great night out. While the food and service were solid, it’s really the energy of the place that makes it unforgettable. Perfect for a chill evening with friends or a stylish date spot. Will definitely be coming back!

Best club ever. Food + service + atmosphere so good.

Booked and went on time but they gave the table to other people because they came earlier than us. I think they wanted us to bribe them for the table back. Very rude service too.

The staff are so friendly and their food is also yummy 😋

⭐ STUNNING ARCHITECTURE, BUT BRING A GOLD MINE (AND THICK SKIN)! ⭐ If you are looking for a place to snap some gorgeous photos of modern design, this is it. But if you are looking to actually, you know, shop without being a billionaire? You might want to keep walking! Here is the honest truth about this high-end spot. 👇 > * Highlights: Architectural Masterpiece: The building is absolutely stunning. From the layout to the design, it is a visual treat. 🏛️✨ Sparkling Clean: I have to give credit where it’s due—the maintenance and cleanliness are 10/10. It’s spotless and very well-kept. 🧼💎 Luxury Vibe: If you want to feel like you’re in a high-fashion movie set, the atmosphere definitely delivers that "ultra-luxury" look. The "Real Talk" (Critique): Okay, let’s get real: this place is NOT for the general public. 🚫 People, we are talking about the world’s most expensive brands. Unless you

Highly recommend Polo Ralph Luren at Vattanac Capital Mall They’ve got a great selection and so many new collections available. If you’re looking for something stylish, classic, or even casual – you’ll definitely find something you like. Worth checking out! ( 100% Original Product )

it's a great destination. the bar is wonderful, but the view is unbelievable. the staffs are all friendly, polite and courteous. thank you for welcoming me. i hope i see you next time

Grade A office. Normal lunch for staff available at the back side opposite the building and around Canadia Tower. Air conditioning ones with affordable price can be found in Exchange Square instead.

Great coffee as my friends confirmed. Myself, I don’t drink coffee but I drank Iced Green Tea here, also nice as it was not too sweet. Seats are not many, only 14 seats but you can grab and go.

Thanks to this museum, I could leave Phnom Penh with a sense that I at least grasped the amazing history of Khmer people. It came as a fresh and modern look at the lives and ways of people throughout centuries. Especially after the National museum which left me confused. The staff is friendly, the place is very cozy (esp. the garden with its cafe and a very nice coffee) and the history is presented in an interesting way through photographs, educational videos and nicely lit artifacts. I stayed there for hours. A bit too chilly for my taste, so I vote for long sleeves.

2 second times I used to visit here 3 years ago in march and now 2026 in march same day, I come back again I know that most of the people missed the majority of tourists in local soft power, classic vibe, history especially in PhnomPenh city. they should offer and allow us to take photos. there are hundreds of things in one. Anyway this is some of them. I appreciated that the SSR was actually a heart of art and the vein partially of historical evidence for Cambodians not only Cambodians also for foreigners.

Sosoro Museum. An exceptional museum—thoughtfully curated and clearly the result of extensive research and care. I was truly impressed by the depth and variety of artifacts on display, each contributing to a richer understanding of the region’s past. One particularly fascinating insight was learning that the word ຫຼຽນ (lian) traces its origins to the Indochina Piastre banknotes from the French colonial era. At one point, 1 kip, 1 đồng, and 1 riel were all printed on the same currency—an extraordinary reminder of a shared economic system across what are now separate nations. The exhibits also capture the rise and decline of the Khmer economy in a way that feels both informative and deeply human. It’s a powerful experience that leaves a lasting impression. I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in Khmer history, culture, and economic development.

Great museum and very interesting too. Everything is very clearly labeled and the timeline of Khmer history is easy to follow. I was intrigued to read about the pre-currency barter economy and the value of the various goods used to trade in the Khmer empire. Super interesting to see how the economy grew, declined and grew again after the French protectorate. What is the goal of the museum? Is it to explain how currency works? The massive inflation in the pre-Pol Pot era explained in one room is followed by a statement that money is a store of wealth in the next room. Surely that’s a wrong statement to make. Sadly I ran out of time and missed the last section of the museum focused on the modern monetary system. Sadly no photos are allowed, which is a real shame. I could not resist and took one photo (attached) describing the state of the national economy in the 1980s after the Khmer Rouge

This is a must visit in Cambodia! It explains the economic history of cambodia and gives context to a lot of what has happened in cambodia. Can spend hours in this museum. Very modern and AC’d perfect to escape the heat. Very informative and a must visit! Staff are so kind and friendly too!

I went to buy some fruits. I decided to buy some orange jackfruit. I only wanted a few to try. I decided to ask for 5 pieces. At first they understood I wanted a whole jackfruit, then they understood I wanted a small jackfruit, only to later understand I only wanted a few pieces of it. They came with a small plastic container, when I said I only wanted 5 the owner was very upset. The stall owner next to her put 2 more pieces of jackfruit in, so, in the end I got 7. I didn't mind much. I was surprised she charged 8000 for a few pieces of jackfruit. I think it was overpriced but didn't want to haggle. I just wanted to pay and get out of there. She was very upset because I didn't buy more. It made me feel very uncomfortable. I tried buying some mandarins but the prices they asked were also sky high. I think they try to trick you if you are not local. I would not recommend visiting as it was

Central Market truly has everything you could possibly need under one spectacular Art Deco roof. The prices are very affordable to begin with, though there is still room to negotiate. Whether you are looking for fresh produce, children’s toys, or even a bespoke outfit, you’ll find it here. You can even get a haircut and a manicure while you shop! ​The layout is expansive, and it is very easy to get turned around in the maze-like aisles. However, that is part of the charm, and the vendors are incredibly helpful. If you look lost, someone is usually quick to point you in the right direction. It’s a must-visit for the architecture alone, but the variety makes it a shopper’s paradise.

The Central Market, in Khmer language - Phsar Thum Thmei; meaning "New Grand Market" is a market and an art deco landmark in Phnom Penh, the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The bright yellow building completed in 1937 has a 26-metre high central dome, with four tall arch-roofed arms branching out diagonally across the block, creating vast hallways housing countless stalls and a variety of goods. Initially designed by city architect French national Jean Desbois, construction works were supervised by the French architect Louis Chauchon and the engineer - Russian emigrant from France Vladimir Kandaouroff. When it first opened in 1937, it was said to be the biggest market in Asia; today it still operates as a market. Since its completion, wet season flooding around the market has remained a problem, a reminder of the marshland it once was. The areas between the four diagonal arms and th

The Central Market is a covered market that immediately impresses with its grand central dome. Beneath the dome, you’ll find countless jewelry stalls, while the surrounding sections offer a wide variety of souvenirs, including clothing, decorative items, and much more. It’s a vibrant place full of colors, sounds, and local atmosphere. The ventilation could definitely be improved, as it can get quite warm inside. That said, it’s absolutely worth a visit — whether you’re shopping or simply soaking in the unique market experience.

Very warm inside Many stores but selling the same items. No price tag, need to ask and bargain. Can go there look look see see the building structure Just walk 15mins non stop and leave Nothing special unless you like to buy something that you needs

It’s incredible the business owner/manager has no sense or shame about how loud the music is and how much their business has influenced the whole street residents’ life/resting/sleeping. Cambodia is beautiful in the way that it works as a community that people care for each other. This business here makes you feel never want to use their services. Please be respectful!

Best environment food ok best service good bands singers mostly customers age around 28plus

The atmosphere in here is incredible. Simple and creative decorating, both food and drink are affordable. And They have the best band ever. Really recommend 👌

Good vibes for chilling and listening to the music. The band are much friendly with customers. The food are good 👍

The food at this place is decent and satisfying, making it a good option for a casual dining experience. The open-air area adds a lovely touch, providing a refreshing atmosphere. However, keep in mind that visiting on a Friday may result in larger crowds compared to other days, so plan accordingly if you prefer a quieter setting. Overall, it's a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

I remember when the Phnom Penh riverside used to feel peaceful and genuinely beautiful. Walking along the river in the evening was relaxing — the breeze was nice, the city lights reflected beautifully on the water, and it felt like one of the few places in Phnom Penh where people could truly slow down and enjoy the atmosphere. But today, the riverside has completely changed. Most of the area now feels more like a giant chaotic night market rather than a tourist destination or public space to relax. The sidewalks are crowded with food stalls, random parking areas, loud music, and groups of young people gathering everywhere. It’s constantly noisy and difficult to even walk comfortably. One of the most disappointing things is the cleanliness. Many people eat and drink right next to the river and casually throw trash into the water or leave garbage on the ground. Hygiene around some food s

Phnom Penh Riverside is a must-visit spot. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially during the evening with the cool breeze from the Mekong River and a stunning sunset view. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, meeting friends, or enjoying street food while watching the river views. The blend of colonial architecture and modern vibes makes this place truly unique and beautiful.

Nice place for weekend. Time passes easily here. You can enjoy cruise in River. This River was made for to spend time to enjoy people's holiday or weekends. There are crowded and the road is full with footpath shop and food court. The vehicles are not allowed in this area in weekends.

The riverside in Phnom Penh is a nice spot to experience local life. People gather along the bank to enjoy local street food, relax, and do outdoor activities. It’s lively, and you’ll see many birds being fed by visitors. There are also boat tours if you want to see the river from a different perspective. It can get quite hot on a sunny day, though, so it’s best to go in the early morning or evening. It would be even better if there were more greenery along the river, but overall, it’s a pleasant place to stroll and soak in the atmosphere.

A Late-Afternoon Walk Along Phnom Penh’s Riverside: There’s a moment, just before the sun calls it quits for the day, when Phnom Penh’s Riverside Park becomes something close to perfect. The air is mercifully cooler in November as the default hot AF softens. The Mekong glows like it’s been brushed with a thin layer of honey. And you, wandering out from the nightlife quarter, find yourself easing into a scene that feels both unexpectedly gentle and quietly electric. The promenade fills with locals and visitors moving at a pace that suggests nobody is in a hurry to be anywhere else. Grandmothers power walk with the serene determination of Olympic contenders. Teens practice dance routines with the self conscious flair of people who very much hope you’re watching. The influencer social currency of FOMO in full effect. Couples unwrap ice creams like small acts of rebellion against adulthood
