If you’re looking for something epic to do this weekend in Phnom Penh, I’ve got the perfect rec for you! 😉 For anyone wanting to soak up Cambodia’s buzzing nightlife and vibrant culture in just one evening, you HAVE to check out Chaktomuk Walk Street (aka “Walkstreet”) along the riverfront.
This hotspot pops off every Saturday and Sunday from 5pm until late, transforming the riverside into a buzzing playground for locals and visitors alike. You’ll find it right in the heart of the city, at Samdech Sothearos Blvd, Chaktomuk, Doun Penh, Phnom Penh. Trust me, this place is always packed—everyone’s here for that chill evening stroll, adorable pets in tow, and the thrill of hunting for both classic and quirky souvenirs.
And omg, the street food here is sooo good! 🍢 From sizzling local snacks to international bites, it’s snack heaven. As you walk, don’t miss the live music, street performers, and the spontaneous party vibes. Grab a bite, snap some pics, and hop from one cute stall to another—you never know what you’ll find next!
Pro tips if you go: By nightfall, the place gets totally packed! To keep things smooth, bring some cash (sometimes internet is sus and mobile payments might glitch), and keep your stuff close—nobody wants to lose their fave sunglasses in the crowd!
So, if your weekend is wide open, Chaktomuk Walk Street is THE spot for max fun, sweet treats, and Insta-worthy memories. Let yourself get lost in the crowd—you might just fall in love with Phnom Penh at night! Cheers and enjoy every minute! 🥳✨
