Spider Market

Recommendation by Lemi

In Spider Market, tarantulas and scorpions take their rightful place by the fruit and vegetable stalls. The round metal trays heap with armored beetles, gruesome grubs, and vicious stingers! Halved chilis garnish the top for some extra appeal. Stare your prey down, the scorpion’s stinger is still poised after death, but it can do no more damage in the Spider Market. Crunch through its shell, fried to a crisp, and show that little venomous critter who’s now boss! Some vendors hoist these large bins around the stalls, selling to the locals and tourists who make the special trip to Skuon, Cambodia in between Siem Riep and Phnom Penh.
