After I finished shooting at Angkor Wat, Dara drove us to the area that people go to after work. It is a two kilometer long boulevard with service roads on both sides. The edges of the service roads were filled with food stalls. These stalls are very much like djemaa el fna in Marrakech, the proprietors put the stalls up in the afternoon and tear them down after closing in the middle of the night.
When you have a crowd there will be someone selling just about anything. This is a Cambodian discount store
The whole family will come on its moto and they need something to keep the kids entertained. Note how the peddle cars are suspended
What would an evening be without food? Dara and I were there late in the afternoon and only a few of the food stands were serving. We sampled some of the young lady's offerings.
After sampling I went back to the hotel and said goodbye to Dara. The weather was the best it had been all day and now it was almost dark.
