Toul Tompong Market (Russian Market)

Restrooms & Toilet Facilities

Public toilets inside the market are near the central food court and at the outer corners. They are traditional basic facilities (mostly squat and some seated toilets); bring your own tissue and hand sanitizer. A small cleaning fee is charged by an attendant (about 500–1,000 KHR, roughly USD 0.1–0.25). Modern cafés and restaurants within a 2–3 minute walk generally have standard restrooms open to paying customers.

Tip: Facilities inside the market are basic; bring small KHR change and your own tissue.

Parking & Drop-off

Motorbikes and e-bikes can use marked roadside parking at the four main entrances (e.g. the corner of St. 163 and St. 440), managed by an attendant who issues a parking tag; pay the caretaker fee on exit (about 1,000–2,000 KHR). The surrounding streets are narrow and congested during the day, so driving to find roadside parking is not recommended; take a Tuk-Tuk or ride-hailing service and walk in from the intersection of St. 163 or St. 440.

Dining & Refreshment

The in-market food stalls serve Khmer-style noodle soup, pork rice, fresh tropical juice and local iced coffee at low prices. The surrounding Toul Tompong (TTP) neighbourhood also has many Western cafés, vegetarian restaurants, specialty coffee shops and Asian-fusion eateries, ideal for air-conditioned, quieter meals.

Accommodation

Toul Tompong is an established, international residential and arts district of Phnom Penh — relatively quiet and convenient. Budget guesthouses and hostels sit within a 5–10 minute walk of the market; the area also has serviced apartments and boutique hotels suited to families or longer stays.

Supermarkets & Convenience

Several 24-hour convenience stores are scattered around the market corners for chilled drinks, sun care, wipes and snacks. A mid-size neighbourhood supermarket is about a 5-minute walk along the main road, offering imported food, toiletries and daily goods.

Fuel, EV Charging & Power

There is no large fuel station on the market's inner streets; the nearest standard station is on a nearby main road (e.g. Mao Tse Toung Blvd or Monivong Blvd), about a 3–5 minute drive away. Public EV chargers are still rare in traditional market areas and are mostly found at large modern malls or designated service points on main roads. Most nearby cafés and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi and wall sockets for emergency charging, and some convenience stores rent power banks.

ATMs & Currency Exchange

Cambodia widely uses US dollars (USD) and Khmer riel (KHR); small stalls inside the market usually accept cash only (small USD bills or KHR). 24-hour ATM machines from local banks are located at the main street corners and accept international cards; licensed money changers along the streets offer two-way USD/KHR exchange.

Tip: Check banknotes for damage when exchanging, and note that small change is usually given in KHR.
