Phnom Penh market

[nam-thip 1]

Would you buy your weekend cut of meat from this market in Phnom penh?

 

I purposely took a couple of shots in black and white.

I haven't included a written report, just pictures as i don’t doubt you’ve read no end of stories/reports on Phnom Penh.

Most about the night life of course but pictures can sometimes say just as much.

Great photos!...They are a treasure in communicating life there in Phnom Penh.....I think those black and white photos are especially

effective, and I almost got a chill thinking they were from 60/70's....Well Done!

Great pics, It all looked good for me but I guess I am slowly getting away from my western thoughts and beliefs.

Meat left out in the sun? No.

Vegees look great.

Daelim scooters?

Thanks for the pics!

Didnt buy any meat from the market but, did buy some sandals from the area that I am still wearing today. Took me Chinese massage lady along with me to do the bargaining.

I am, a dyed in the wool, old old Englishman, and I would follow the teachings, of my old Mother ( Bless her), from during the War, Yes buy the meat, take it, home, wash it, then soak it in Vinegar & Water, before cooking and eating - no problems.

Shitting yourself is a big problem in PP. There are regular threads on cambo forums about it. I had to visit the hospital in Pattaya when I returned from PP for antibiotics for bacteria as I was stuck in my hotel with the shits. Never shit myself thankfully, but I never realised I could still move so fast.

 

There was a night fish market in PP where they sat on the road with only a candle to light their "produce". Its really third world there.

There are a lot of businesses that make a living from the vast number of NGO and Charity workers in the country. I have to say that the food in some of these places was fine and on two visits the stomach behaved itself and I am not an expensive eater and try the local curries etc.

Agreed, much respect to anyone living the dream at 79.

That meat is screaming Anti Diarreal Pills.

 

There is a market in Mo Chit in Bangkok that rivals that one. Only thing missing in the pics is the fly's

That could have been a joke - but believe me, Lazy Bobby, would never walk up the stairs! ALWAYS, jumped onto the starlift!-(Had a poodle too, but she would not use it.) I had a heart attack, in 1982, and changed my life, and no chest pains since. Royal Air Force, purchased the Stairlift, and presented it to me.- now removed, and the house is rented out.

That was a good photo, looks like it could be the 60/70's except for the mass produced plastic chairs, but the old barbers chair probably dates back per war and Pol-Pot.

Thanks for the pictures, nam-thip. I always enjoy learning the culture of other countries ( as well as their pussy )

but no thanks I'm not hungry this week-in.

Apart from the moto-sais, the market looks no different from thousands of similar shopping experiences that can be found in LOS.
