Psar Chaa is a famous market in the city which is primarily known for its large selection of food stalls and small restaurants selling various types of mouth-watering food. There are some food stalls selling different kinds of rice, Khmer soups, sausages, and dried fish. Vegetable and fruit stalls are also galore. A significant feature at Psar Chaa is its stalls selling Prahok which is a Cambodian speciality. Stalls selling baguettes and spiced frogs are evidence of the French colonialism in the region.
Psar Chaa the oldest market in the town is also known for its clothing, accessory and household stalls. It is also an ideal place to buy Buddhist trinkets, souvenir T-shirts along with a fine range of books on temples. The market is more popular among locals since it does not have as many products found in other neighbouring markets.
