Howdy! We're Lady Penh: all about what's going on in Phnom Penh - the greatest thing in Cambodia since prahok.

Psah Thmey or New Market, incorrectly dubbed Central Market in English and French, will soon be newer than ever.
Renovation works have been ongoing for a few months now. Shops are moving back and forth around the place: to the temporary stands installed along the market, then back to the finalized aisles to make room for other displaced stalls... Fascinating ballet!
A first part of the market already reopened, fresh and new while the other part is still closed: it's the perfect time to get there for a stroll and witness the ephemeral beauty of this in-between moment. And to cheer the market sellers for their wonderful adaptation capacity: whatever happens, this is business as usual!
