Krama scarf (Khmer scarf)

This can be a souvenir chosen by many people in the country of temples. Partly because the bandana is extremely diverse in color, partly because this scarf, whether used for sun protection or all-season, is very good. Most importantly, the price of the bandana is very affordable, in the market, usually, small merchants will say the price from $3 to $5 for one. But you absolutely can own a towel for $ 2, even if you bargain smartly and buy a lot (about 10 pieces), the towel can cost as little as $ 1.5 (about 35,000 VND). Worth considering right and wrong?

Silverware, silver plated

In Cambodia’s large markets, there are many interestingly crafted silver and silver-plated items, with many items and designs such as bracelets, bowls, cups, jewelry trays, and Buddha statues. In general, these items are very eye-catching, however, these titles all sell silver and silver-plated items at the same time, so in addition to asking the seller, it will be difficult for tourists to distinguish. The price of each item is different, but all can default. You could deal all down from 30 to 50% of the original price.
