Phnom Penh in one day

The twenty places a first-time visitor is actually looking for — palaces, markets, memorials and the riverfron

20 places

Late night, past midnight

Kitchens still cooking at 1am, plus the pharmacies that never close.

14 places

First week in the city

SIM card, bank, doctor, gym, laundry — the six errands that make a place feel liveable.

6 places

Rainy season Sunday

Indoor things that do not involve a mall. Museums, a pottery studio, and the old cinema.

11 places

Eat for under $3

Market stalls and shophouse kitchens the office crowd queues for. Cash only, and most are done by 2pm.

21 places

Sunset without the tour bus

Rooftops, riverbanks, and one ferry that costs 500 riel and beats every bar on the strip.

8 places

Where to actually work all day

Nine cafés and three co-workings, judged on wifi, plug count, and whether anyone minds you staying past lunch.
