Cambodia's stunning Khmer crafs

Home to an abundance of cultural riches, Cambodia is in many ways ideal for shopping. Between its age-old weaving traditions and high-caliber woodcarving, the country’s level of craftsmanship verges on incomparable. Today, the country is in the midst of a handicrafts revival of sorts: from gemstones and silver, to silk and sarongs, there are plenty of options for the sophisticated traveller in Cambodia.

Original Art 
Whether you’re an art lover or big-time collector, Cambodian art is an exciting genre that’s gaining traction in the international market. If you’re looking to find a special piece for your home, stop by one of the many shops to peruse their selection. No doubt you’ll discover a wealth of oil paintings, bronze sculptures and weavings with which to adorn your space.

Shopping Smartly
We suggest proceeding with caution when purchasing jewellery, gold and stones as Cambodia does have its fair share of fakes. Similarly, when buying antiques please be aware that exporting them is subject to the Ministry of Culture’s authorisation. Finally, be sure to bargain at every step of the way to get the best price possible — and don’t forget to enjoy the thrill of the chase!
