Convenience

Convenience is a convenience in Stung Treng, Cambodia — one of 7 markets and shops we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 171 mapped locations in Stung Treng. In Khmer it would be described as ហាងទំនិញនៅស្ទឹងត្រែង. It sits at 13.89482, 106.11165, 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 Stung Treng. 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 Convenience is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 100 m north of Papa, and about 6 km north-west of Laos Cambodia sign, with Tro Paing Kael Restaurant a further 9 km west. Drivers in Stung Treng 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 Stung Treng, 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.

Convenience is recorded as a convenience in Stung Treng. 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.

Convenience is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Papa (fuel, 100 m north), Laos Cambodia sign (attraction, 6 km north-west), Tro Paing Kael Restaurant (restaurant, 9 km west), Sarah Border Restaurant (restaurant, 9 km 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.
