Riverside Herb Shop

About Riverside Herb Shop

Riverside Herb Shop on Sisowath Quay occupies an interesting position between traditional Khmer herbal medicine and the contemporary CBD wellness market. The Mekong Riverside is Phnom Penh’s most tourist-trafficked zone, and a shop positioned there with clear English signage and a dual herbal-CBD product range attracts a broad visitor demographic that extends well beyond the backpacker cannabis seeker to include wellness-focused travelers curious about Cambodian traditional medicine.

The product range reflects this dual positioning: a range of Cambodian traditional herbal preparations including lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime products sits alongside imported CBD oils, hemp teas, and domestically produced CBD tinctures. The flower selection is modest compared to dedicated cannabis shops in BKK1, but available for visitors seeking it. The strongest differentiator is the Khmer herbal medicine context: knowledgeable staff can explain traditional Cambodian uses of various plants including hemp, connecting contemporary CBD interest to a genuine historical and cultural framework that adds depth to the shopping experience. The Riverside location means easy combination with a sunset promenade walk, a visit to the Silver Pagoda and Royal Palace a short distance north, and the night market that activates the Riverside after dark.
