Kool as U

Kool as U is a clothes in Phnom Penh, Cambodia — one of 537 markets and shops we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 5,033 mapped locations in Phnom Penh. In Khmer it would be described as ហាងនៅភ្នំពេញ. It sits at 11.56154, 104.92436, 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 Phnom Penh. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Kool as U is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 0 m east of Home du pain, and about 0 m north of Chao Doi Coffee 51, with Paramount Angkor Travel & Tours Co., Ltd a further 0 m east. Drivers in Phnom Penh 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 Phnom Penh, 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.
