For specialty shopping , there are a couple of streets much frequented by expats.
Street 240 is home to a handful of nice boutiques selling silks, art, fashions, and furniture,
and Street 178 is known as “art street,” since there are a number of art galleries and sculp-
ture shops along the route.
For books, Monument Books on Norodom (near Street 240) has the largest selection of
new books in their comfortable air-conditioned space, while Boston Books (Street 240),
D's Books (Street 240), and Bohr's Books (Street 172) sell a wide range of used books.
There are new boutiques popping up by the day in Phnom Penh, and Sihanouk Boulevard
is becoming quite the Oxford Street or Rodeo Drive of Cambodia - selling fashions at a
fractionofthepriceoftheirwesterncounterparts.UnlikeBangkokorSingapore,youwon't
find luxurious shopping malls with fashion stores in Cambodia, but there are pockets of
upscale shops sprinkled throughout the city, as well as a couple of Japanese thrift shops of-
fering clothes at ridiculously-low prices.
