Information about Phnom Penh

Airport - Phnom Penh International Airport (IATA: PNH | ICAO: VDPP) - previously "Pochentong" - is the largest of Cambodia's two international airports (the other is at Siem Reap). The airport is about 11km from the city centre (Sisowath Quay).
Shopping - Popular tourist buys include Cambodian silk, local silverware, traditional handicrafts and curios (including Buddha figures), and made-to-order clothes. Central Market (in Cambodian called Psar Thmei - "New Market") is a 1930s Art Deco covered market near the Riverfront (Sisowath Quay) district. The market is well set out, and sells everything from flowers to video games. Street 178, just north of the National Museum, is known as Artist Street and has many interesting boutiques.
