This dilapidated structure is right next to my fancy office building. I get so sad everytime I see the squalor that people are living in. They're replacing this building with a new one next door, but I'm sure that in time it will look like this too.

The Central Market of Phnom Penh is a unique Art Deco building and a Phnom Penh landmark. It is a large market constructed in 1937 in the shape of a dome with four arms branching out into vast hallways with countless stalls of goods. The Central Market was designed by French architect Jean Desbois (1891 Cherbourg -1971 Lorient).

Psar Thmei, known as Central Market, is a landmark in the capital. Having opened in 1937, the art-deco style domed hall and its four arms house hundreds of stalls selling everything from jewellery, clothing and fabrics to food, flowers and trinkets. The market’s initial designs were drawn up by French architect Louis Chauchon, with construction overseen by fellow French architects Jean Desbois and Wladimir Kandaouroff. It underwent a $4.2 million makeover between 2009 and 2011. Центральный рынок Пномпеня находится в самом центре города, в красивом колониальном здании. Кхмерское название Псар Тмай переводится как «новый рынок», но чаще используют английское имя. Здание рынка, окрашенное в яркие охристые цвета, было построено в стиле «арт деко» в 1937 году, когда Камбоджа еще принадлежала Франции. Рынок разделен на 4 крыла, над которыми господствует центральный купол. Внутри здания и снаружи можно приобрести почти все, что угодно душе, по традиционно низким ценам: электроника, одежда, аксессуары, свежие фрукты, ювелирные изделия, книги и фотоальбомы, посвященные стране, а также множество памятных вещиц и сувениров.
