Russian market is located in the south part of Phnom Penh and is known to the locals as Phsar Toul Tom Poung. The reason why it is called Russian market is because it was a popular market among the Russian expats during the 1980s when most of the western expats in Phnom Penh were Russian. It is very famous for all the colourful souvenirs unique to the country and is a top destination for tourists looking for shopping options in Phnom Penh.
