    Toul Tum Poung Market (Expat Known as Russian Market) 

    Sihanoukville - market

    Sihanouk Ville - Market

    Toul Tum Poung is one of the busiest market in PP City selling mostly clothes for both men and women, hand-made products like silvers and wooden products, CD, VCD, DVD and lots more to choose from.

    Cambodian rarely mention or come to get their daily need from this market. However, it is very popular for visitors and tourists who come to visit cambodia. Toul Tum Poung Market for them known as “Russian Market“, where expats come to buy stuffs mostly khmer-hand made products and clothes.

    For those who experienced coming over once to this market, they will likely to come back again with a list of thing that they want to buy. I knew some people whenever they visit Cambodia, they always make one morning or afternoon just to walk around and get stuffs they need from this market.

    For them, Russian market is the cheapest place to go. Example, if they buy CD or DVD in Australia it would cost around $20 per DVD. But here, you can find it at $2 per DVD only. How cheap is the world selling DVD at this price, I must buy it more even though it is not original but at least in good quality where I can sit down and watch for ten and twenty of times.

    Many times people cannot tell you why they like this market, but surely it is very interesting place to go for informal shopping. I also recommend Russian market to those who are new to Cambodia. You can see many thing display and ready for you to grab it home for your children, your husband/wife and those you care for.

    Most particular about Russian market is that people or sellers at this market can speak English to you or other language like Thai, Indonesia, Malay, Chineseand more. But remember, don’t talk to them in your own language they might not be able to follow you. They can only use simple language to communicate with you selling product at their shope only, but some are very good too though.

    Buying Buying Buying…

    If you are coming to Russian market don’t imagine to just walk around but ready some money so you can spend for something special you will like it, I promise.

    Some tips for you is to bargain the price to whatever you want to give, but I cannot guarantee how much they can offer you anyway. You can just try it. Because this market is for expat and many expat and tourist always come to get stuffs from this market. Sellers never rip you off with high price.

    Final words, get some friends along so you can exhange ideas which one you want to buy. If alone so boring and might be hard for making decision :)

    Bread Sellers Use Loudspeaker to Promote Selling 

    In the morning and evening, I hear almost everyday a few bread sellers at this area promoting their bread using the small loud speaker hanging at their bicycle. I guess, It started for 1 or 2 years till now since after the known “Pong Mon Ang Psom Kreung Pises Man Ros Cheat Chhnguy Chhnganh” influenced the city a few years ago.

    I still hear this randomly sometime till today. This influence has spread to the bread sellers who go from place to place in particular area to sell their bread better than Calling Out from Their Own Voice.

    Sometime, I hear the voice “Num Pang Kdao Kdao Moy Prab Roy Moy Pram Roy” but now it is more expensive. And the weird stuff is that they made different voices to promote their bread “Num Pang” from time to time. What did you hear in your area?

    I Dare to Say I'm very Exhausted Today 

    Sitting in front of computer screen and working for the whole day without much distract from other things, I just focus my eyes with text and documents. Oh Gosh, my eyes start burning now. The right side one is pretty bad.

    I drank plenty of water today but just ate little. I hope I can rest tonight to gain the strenght and energy back for tomorrow’s works. Give up evening, it is too exhausted. :(

    University Advertisement Campaign Season in PP 

    Today is the first day of high school final exam day nation wide in Cambodia. It is the time for the university to run their promotion campaign recruiting student. I listen to the radio last night and one university representative calling the campaign in a softer voice saying that they are visiting school during these 3 days to find the best student for their universities. I guess in the opposite way that they are going to give out leaflet more than helping to select a good ones.

    This season usually a good business time of the year for school and university promotion since thousand of high school are going to continue their study in the next few months.

    I am sure you guys also noticed about this if you have relatives or your children taking exam before or this year. They will come back home with bunches of paper promotion from school and universities.

    Advertising Spot in PP Increasing Heavily 

    Starting from a small business at home to the BIG company both local and international starting to buy the advertising spot heavily in PP city.  Even though according to the research show that people hate advertising but they have no choice of facing with advertisement everyday.

    You can feel the advertising every single of your breath when you wake up in the morning until before you go to bed at night. Those are the campagn to sell product to the prospect markets.

    Some products are directing to target groups or target customers only, but there are more variety of products that scatter just to spread words around like TV commercials. The aim of doing advertisement on TV is just to reach as much as many audiences as they can but the target of the advertisement may reach only 10%, 20% or 50% of the audiences only because since the rest are not focussing on these certain product yet.

    Somehow, those advertisement are still very effective for long term credibility or how long the credit of the product could stay among their audiences.

    Almost every free spaces of the building in PP are selling out to businesses today, because business need the bing open space to rent and put their products information. Like at the side of the building and if they have enough good space, company will come to negotiate the price and host their product information right away.

    If you look at the BIG water tank by the Olympic stadium in PP, this one used to be just color painted but now one company hire it and put their logo and product information instead. Amazing time happen to PP city and the people to bring more creative ideas for doing business.

    Starting from small spot like behind the tuktuk, the owner of tuktuk also can earn few $$$ hosting company services. So what else you need to wait, start your business now by making a good position spot for advertisement to sell. There you go!!! cheers!
