Kamchaymear Market

Kamchaymear Market is a supermarket in Prey Veng, Cambodia — one of 12 markets and shops we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 289 mapped locations in Prey Veng. In Khmer it would be described as ផ្សារទំនើបនៅព្រៃវែង. It sits at 11.61743, 105.68744, 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 Prey Veng. 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 Kamchaymear Market is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 200 m south-east of Sin Sovandy, and about 200 m east of Sokha 86, with Seang Hor a further 200 m east. Drivers in Prey Veng 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 Prey Veng, 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.

Kamchaymear Market is recorded as a supermarket in Prey Veng. 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.

Kamchaymear Market is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Sin Sovandy (fuel, 200 m south-east), Sokha 86 (restaurant, 200 m east), Seang Hor (restaurant, 200 m east), Kamchay Mear Pagoda (place of worship, 300 m north-east). 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.
