Walking into the Lively Night Market Phsar Chas in Siem Reap
Checkerboard scarves - traditional scarf of the Khmer which becomes the most purchased item when visitors go to Siem Reap night market. Its price is affordable and buy more you will get discount. Depending on the quality, the price will be varied between 1-10 dollars per scarf. The Cambodians use checkerboard scarves year-round. When you meet unexpected circumstances, this scarves not only use for head-wearing, or neck-covering, which can also be used as a wrap dress for women and loincloths for men when wading streams.
Now let just imagine that a woman who sells corn or rice bamboo on street, rides a rickety bike around the city but was exposed to the "trade" exchange by dollars in cash without any shyness, fear of counterfeit money because it is so ordinary with them. Maybe this is the reason why Cambodians have been more and more modern and moving towards modernization - integration than ever.
Some of the attractive places in this area of Phsar Chas are shops of stone, souvenirs, Buddha statues, antiques, and the sculpture. If you are politic, you will find Bayon four-face statue by milk-color stone, but when you touch your hands on, the surface of the ice will be turned to green color. So great, right? Visitors who like taking pictures, often looking for and contemplating the picture gallery. In Phsar Chas, a lot of foreigners come here to research, then staying overnight.
More "luxurious", if you want to relax, let stop at foot massage shops, they will make you feel comfortable for your feet after a day of activity. Too fun! Pub Street is bustling all night nearby the market. "Pub Street" is a place when night falls, people pull together here to enjoy the exciting atmosphere of restaurants area. There are many bars on two side streets as well as luxurious, polite, majestic Khmer and Western Europe restaurants. Almost pubs here open all day, but apparently they only really operate from 5 pm until 12 pm and it is likely that all night.
Adding a little palm wine, your night will be more shaken, fanciful according to shaking rhythm Apsara dancers. Siem Reap’s night will be warmer and more passionate! After enjoying delicious food, you still want to continue to bar, coffee? You selected place correctly. Here the shops are closed together. Restaurant "The Red Piano" is located majestically at beautiful position of the market’s head, great dishes and nice decoration. Visitors only need to enter to enjoy your life. You like live music? - Right now! Including foreign and domestic singers, they will sing to serve you with affordable price, do not think that you don’t listen to save money, you still have to pay service charges.
I usually think that, in life sometimes - living by feel - so you should comfortably relax a little. Later, after the trip, when you return, you are again "leisurely" to make money. Do such that way you will feel eager longing all coming trips, indulge that enjoy the strange feeling, relaxing and very excited. After the "enjoyment", you can walk to the hotel or “guest house” where you live or when "playing so many till tired" you can raise your hand to pick up a tuk tuk from the guy already waits you to bring you back home with an attitude could not find any points to blame!
Often after an exhausted day, you will just want to go to sleep to keep health for the conquest tomorrow. But, please do not do that in Siem Reap, because Siem Reap at night will give you the joy, relaxation, comfort, and give you a comfortable sense of enjoyment. Of course, if you "dare-play-all-yourself". Siem Reap is still exist cottages, hotels and guesthouses in the form of French-style because Cambodia was former French’s colony. Therefore, the combination of international architecture and Cambodian culture has created the interesting architectural peculiarities in this rejuvenated city.
