The Phnom Penh night market was erected and opened by Jet Group and features 220 stalls selling a range of items including clothing, footwear, souvenirs, Cambodian silks, jewellery, food and drinks.

Food offerings such as grilled squid and prawns, fried chicken’s feet, Japanese ramen noodles and kuy teav noodles ensure the cravings of serious foodies are satisfied. The upper decks on the containers are ideal for chilling and enjoying a cool Angkor beer or a nectar-like cocktail.
