Go to Bangkok or KL and the malls are always busy - here they're mostly deserted. Seems to me the malls here are lacking. You need to have a supermarket AND a food court AND cinemas as standard, plus some other large scale stores like Kfour or combined furniture/home electrics. Olympia Mall is the biggest fail in this regard.

i see no dif from Aeon 2 and the central malls in THailand, ( food court, supermarket, shops, restaurants, theater)
all offer the same things

problem in Cambodia is there only really in PP and there are to many, so no way can they be all be crowded>

Sihanoukville have 2 and Siem Reap have one too. Within few years I'm sure Kampot and Battambang will have malls too.

are they as big/comparable to Aeon or central malls in THailand?

I know they are starting on one outside Kampot, but the rate there going could be 10 years till its done

Yes, they are comparable in size with Central malls in smaller cities in Thailand. They have all the amenities, supermarket, cinema, food courts etc.

Third Aeon Mall Opening Soon in Phnom Penh

AEON MALL (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. was established in late 2011 and launched AEON MALL Phnom Penh, the first to welcome the customer in 2014, and the second mall, AEON MALL Sen Sok City, opened in mid-2018.

Therefore, AEON MALL (Cambodia) is honored to inform the public and valued customers that AEON MALL Mean Chey, the third and biggest shopping mall in Cambodia, will officially hold the Soft Opening on December 15th, 2022 to welcome and surprise customers with unexpectedness.
AEON MALL Mean Chey is located along Samdach HE Blvd (St. 60m), the South of Phnom Penh

AEON MALL Mean Chey

The largest of them all! Did you know? AEON MALL Mean Chey has the largest land area for shopping mall in Cambodia which is more than 17 hectares.

Would somebody be so kind to explain why it is called AEON mean chey? I was under the impression mean chey is street 2004 towards airport (from Russian market), which is pretty far away from that mall?!

edit: googlemaps enlightened me (interesting district shape)

Mean Chey is a large district in south Phnom Penh. It is about 20 times bigger than the old central Daun Penh district. I'll post a map later just to make this clear.

A mall is a Mall no matter what country your in, all the same set up and to be avoided as much as possible.

Not meant for tourists or non-locals. I visited a little after it opened and it was already looking run down from lack of maintenance. Two barang wandered in to see what the mall had to offer, and left feeling even more confused.

AEON is a international brand bringing the Japanese experience to Cambodia. No comparison.

Why do you keep bringing up Olympia Mall? Who even goes there?
