Container night market brings Bangkok cool to Phnom Penh

At Phnom Penh’s newest night market – featuring pubs, restaurants and shops all built into and on top of cargo containers – there’s a buzz of anticipation, and of power tools, in the air. At the Sushi Box, a Japanese restaurant along a row of bars and eateries, co-owner Saron Nhoung chats with a paintbrush in his hand, as he puts the last touches on his space.

 

“I think this location will become a popular place for people,” Saron says. “There’s good fresh air from the river. We’re expecting a lot of locals, and maybe in the future tourists will be brought here by tour companies.”

 

Even though on a recent Wednesday evening nearly half of the stalls, all of which have been rented out, were not yet open, the market is already drawing crowds from across the spectrum of urban Cambodia.
