What kind of shop it is

River Mart is a minimart, not a supermarket. It is a small shop, but the shelves are well stocked, and the range leans towards everyday essentials rather than specialist goods.

The point of the place is the opening hours. It runs around the clock, every day, which makes it useful when the larger shops and markets have shut.

What you can buy

  • Fresh produce and staple groceries
  • Packaged snacks
  • Drinks and beverages
  • Toiletries and personal care items
  • Household essentials

That mix covers most small emergencies: a forgotten toothbrush, a bottle of something cold, a late snack, or basic supplies for a guesthouse room or rented house.

Getting there and parking

The store is close to the New Bridge, which carries traffic across the river at the edge of town. That makes it a natural stop on the way into or out of Kampot, particularly if you are arriving late or setting off early.

It is easy to reach by car or motorbike, and there is plenty of parking near the entrance. Use the Google Maps link on this page to pin the exact spot.

When it is most useful

Travellers on a night bus or a late arrival can pick up water and food without hunting for an open restaurant. Residents use this kind of shop for top-ups between larger shopping trips. For a wider selection of fresh food, the town's traditional markets and larger supermarkets are better options during the day.
