About Russian Market area:
The busy districts surrounding Russian Market (Tuol Tompong and Boeung Tompong) are some of the best in Phnom Penh for tourists and locals alike. Its name harks back to the large Russian expatriate population back in the 1980s.
In the market, you will find many souvenirs like silk cloth and scarves from the provinces, stone carvings and other religious icons, western and local handbags and branded clothing from local factories. Further inside is an array of fresh food – fruit, veg, seafood and fish. There are also items like lamps, wood carvings, fabrics and kitchen wares. At night there are many restaurants serving freshly grilled seafood.
Budget accommodation centres around the market and pagoda. Nearby you will find many retail outlets catering to foreigners like – Zando, Sundown, Brand Collection, Starbucks and Amazon Cafe. On virtually every corner there is a pub or bar where you can find anything from cheap beer to high end wines and cocktails.
If you live around Russian Market, you will be close to everything.
Boeung Trabaek: Quiet Bridge Between BKK 1 and Russian Market
Tucked within Chamkar Mon district, Boeung Trabaek offers a refreshing escape from the tourist crowds, sitting just minutes from both BKK1 and Russian Market. Its strategic position gives residents easy access to the BKK districts, Russian Market (Toul Tompong), and the wider city centre, making it one of the more practical addresses for anyone wanting central connectivity without central prices.
Unlike the flashier, more bustling streets nearby, Boeung Trabaek retains a genuine Cambodian character — a neighborhood of local shops, modest eateries, schools, and everyday street life rather than boutique cafés and co-working spaces. That authenticity, combined with affordability compared to neighboring BKK1, makes it especially appealing to middle-income families and young professionals.
In recent years the area has developed rapidly into a more dynamic urban hub, even as available housing stock remains comparatively limited — a mix of older Cambodian homes alongside a growing number of newer apartment buildings. For renters and buyers, this scarcity is part of the appeal: same-day access to BKK1’s cafés and Russian Market’s stalls, at a noticeably lower cost of living, with a slower, more residential pace after dark.
It’s the kind of neighborhood that rewards people who want Phnom Penh’s convenience without its price tag or its noise.
