Tro Peang Plong Market

Tro Peang Plong Market is a marketplace in Tboung Khmum, Cambodia — one of 8 markets and shops we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 147 mapped locations in Tboung Khmum. In Khmer it would be described as ផ្សារនៅត្បូងឃ្មុំ. It sits at 11.66999, 105.97768, 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 Tboung Khmum. 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 Tro Peang Plong Market is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 300 m north-west of Paragon, and about 300 m south-east of Tro Peang Plong Immigration, with Paris Guesthouse a further 4.8 km north. Drivers in Tboung Khmum 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 Tboung Khmum, 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.

Tro Peang Plong Market is recorded as a marketplace in Tboung Khmum. 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.

Tro Peang Plong Market is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Paragon (hotel, 300 m north-west), Tro Peang Plong Immigration (police, 300 m south-east), Paris Guesthouse (guest house, 4.8 km north), Chrak Rum Deng Pagoda (place of worship, 7.2 km north). 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.
