The name suggests that the Siem Reap Art Center is a hub of culture and creativity, but travelers agree this popular destination is pretty similar to the Angkor Night Market and other Southeast Asian street fairs. Jam-packed stalls still sell wooden sculptures, handmade paintings and other local crafts, but the vibe is more relaxed and friendly than the nearby Old Market. Sellers are less aggressive, bartering is welcome and browsing is encouraged.

Like with most night bazaars, there are also a couple of restaurants on-site which offer a fine combination of Khmer and Western food. Free wifi is avaiable and payments by credit card are possible. You can also enjoy a free Apsara dance showperformed every day from 20.00 till 21.00. When you come from the Old Market, just cross one of the wooden bridges over the river and you’ll find yourself at the entrance of the market.

In addition to traditional Khmer items, visitors to Siem Reap Art Center can also score incredible massages on a serious budget. A 30-minute leg massage will help the weary traveler recoup after a cramped rickshaw ride for about US$3.
