Visit fantastic boutiques hidden on side streets, all offering an array of fineries.
Next up is lunch, taken at the fabulous Sister Srey. Owned by 2 Australian sisters, who wanted to make a real impact, they opened the restaurant in 2013 serving a mixture of western, vegan, health & Khmer food which was an instant hit with travelers and well-heeled locals. After lunch, we will head over to a Cambodian style shopping village home to many local boutiques. Browse the shops and stalls for handpicked Gems, designed to be the finest quality.
