Talk:Central Market, Phnom Penh,

Not Central Market
While it is correct that many English speakers erroneously refer to this market as “Central Market” Phsa Thmei translated “New Market” and that is how it is known in Cambodian. Among French speakers it is Phsa Thom Thmei or “Big New Market”. Only a few blocks away is Phsa Kandal, or “Central Market”

New Market (Phsa Thmei) is located at 11° 34’ 10.35” N and 104° 55’ 15.26”E

850 meters away is Central Market (Phsa Kandal) at 11° 34’ 8.57” N  and 104° 55’ 43.48”E

New and Central are not synonimous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.63.240.6 (talk) 09:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Article Name...
Sorry but Psar Thom Thmei just doesn't do it for me. I've never heard the term used once in the ten years I've lived here in Phnom Penh - I first ran into this name on wikipedia, when the article name was changed by an IP editor. Google gives us 7 unique hits for Phsar Thom Thmei and 6,590 unique hits for Psar Thmei. It's also the most common transliteration of the name used in the English language press (saw two articles using it in the paper today). google news gives 16 matches for Psar Thmei and zero matches for Psar Thom Thmei. I could add another hundred references that use Psar Thmei at least from the years of local papers I have archived. If there are no convincing objections, I'll move it and this can become a redirect if necessary.Paxse (talk) 12:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree. In English guide books, it is always referred to as the 'Central Market'. This term is more common among English speakers. In the same veign, we shouldn't change Cambodia to Kampuchea even though the latter is what is used by Khmer speakers. I will be moving this article to the Central Market now --Dara (talk) 04:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
