Star Mart

Star Mart is a convenience in Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia — one of 30 markets and shops we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 410 mapped locations in Banteay Meanchey. In Khmer it would be described as ហាងទំនិញនៅបន្ទាយមានជ័យ. It sits at 13.66485, 102.55310, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a market or shop, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Banteay Meanchey. It maintains an official website, which is the best place to confirm current prices and opening times before you travel.

The easiest way to find Star Mart is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 100 m south-west of Nunglen, and about 200 m south-east of Asv Trading Co,. Ltd Travel & Tour, with Star Vegas Resort a further 200 m north-east. Drivers in Banteay Meanchey usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Banteay Meanchey, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Star Mart is recorded as a convenience in Banteay Meanchey. Traditional Cambodian markets start before dawn and are at their best between 6am and 9am, when fresh produce, fish and meat arrive; stalls selling clothing, souvenirs and household goods stay open until late afternoon. Shopping malls and supermarkets keep longer hours, typically 9am to 9pm daily.

Prices in markets are negotiable and quoted in a mix of riel and dollars — a friendly counter-offer of around two-thirds of the opening price is normal. Supermarkets and malls have fixed prices and accept cards. Carry small notes, and expect fresh-food sections to be wet underfoot.

Star Mart is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Nunglen (pub, 100 m south-west), Asv Trading Co,. Ltd Travel & Tour (travel agency, 200 m south-east), Star Vegas Resort (hotel, 200 m north-east), Rong Kluea Market (marketplace, 500 m north-west). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
