Just moved to PP by ajrcrawford
Hi everyone! I just moved to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap. I've visited a few times but I haven't had a chance to explore as fully as I'd like. So I'm asking for advice on the following, ideally within cycling distance of Riverside: - ...
You are right, but it is just a matter of availability of some certain goods. There, you can mostly find European goods. The spirits department has fair prices :-) One bottle of Martini Bianco is $7.50, for instance. I didn't see it cheaper yet. Read More

Getting suits made in PP by toddbazley
Hey all, I'm looking for a decent place to get a few pairs of black suit pants and a handful of waistcoats made...Any recommendations? They need to be able to make them from measurements as they are for my wedding party and none of them live here!
Hello ericefl, I made one for $180-200 at Cadet tailor (BKK 3 area, near Mao Tse Toung blvd.). The main challenge was to explain what I needed, because no one spoke English there, except a young girl who wasn't in the shop all the time. The ... Read More

You know, when you ask for ONE back pocket on your trousers (and even pronounce it in Khmer - muoy), but finally he makes two pockets, how can you name it? :-) when they make a wavy stitch on the trousers, even if it is several centimeters ... Read More
