Budget-minded travelers will appreciate Phnom Penh's reasonably priced hotel rooms (several top-rated hotels on TripAdvisor offer rooms around $40/night). Explore the city's temples, palaces, and the remnants of its French colonial history. Just outside the city, the The Killing Fields (Choeung Ek) are a reminder of Cambodia's tragic past-- a somber contrast to the booming city of today.

Champey Souvenir Shop: In it, there are many unique products related to this country culture and daily which mostly cannot be found in wherelse in the city. This shop also sells the art work done its art class students for motivation and benefit of their study.
This is a lovely arts school supported by an NGO - students learn traditional dance, drawing, music and more. I found it by chance while staying at the Okay Boutique Hotel opposite and it's down a tiny alley opposite the hotel entrance. I now visit each time I'm in Cambodia. It's very authentic and not designed as a tourist attraction. That's one aspect that makes it appealing to me. I wish the hotel could promote it more as I'm sure guests would enjoy watching the morning sessions and performances to which public are invited for a small donation (I've never seen more than a handful there). Check the schedule to ensure you're there at the time the students are not in their private classes. There is a lovely gift shop selling some of the art by the students plus scarves and jewelry. There is a little stage with seating and visitors may request a tour of the other rooms and classes if convenient with the teaching schedule. It can get very hot, despite fans but the rooftop bar at the Okay Boutique Hotel opposite is close for a cool escape if needed (and fabulous views!). Students and staff are always welcoming and it's a joy to see young Cambodian artists proud of the country's traditions, busy with their studies and eager to share Cambodian culture with the world!
