សណ្ឋាគារនៅជិត Fair Trade Village

Very positive surprise at Fair Trade Village. It’s a bit outside from the city center but on the way to the ticket office for the Angkor archaeological park. All products are handmade in Cambodia. They have a big array of different products. Particularly the collection of hand-woven cotton textiles is amazing, but also the collection of bronze statues and the bracelets and necklaces made from different materials (seeds, clay, brass and silver). They also have many special items such as traditional dancing masks, bamboo items, and paintings made by a traditional burning technique on palm leaves, which we saw only at the Fair Trade Village and nowhere else. They have also silk textiles, wood and sandstone carving, rattan items, ceramic and others products. The quality of the products is good and the prices are reasonable. There are also some artisans working at Fair Trade village, weaver,

I cannot understand the 5 stars review. This place is a big fake set up. Basically the "artisans" will start pretending to work on their craft the moment there is any visitor. Take the loom in front, the colored threads on the shelf are so dusty, you can bet that no one has touched it in recent years. Other things for sale are dusty and been there for a few years. The whole set up allows them to sell souvenirs sold at the old market for 3 times the price, or not. I can't be sure m the things are too dusty to wanna touch!

Great place for purchasing local handicrafts. We like the very friendly staff members. You can walk around without being pressured into buying. Very good variety of choices and good quality. We particularly like the extensive collection of hand-woven Kromas and other textiles.

High street like shopping for souvenirs - high-ended craftsmanship. Wares here range from pottery, paintings, jewellery, cotton, leather, stone, metal. Limited wood carvings. Interesting take-away coffee next door whilst you shop.

Tourist trap. It has great reviews because the locals make it out to be a great place to buy. Its underwhelming and very bare. I wouldn't waste your time. Prices are high and no one seems to be working. I think there are better places.
