Cambodia: Women with their produce spread out on mats on the ground at a market in Kampong Cham. 'In this country, it is the women who are concerned with commerce … Every day a market takes place which begins at six in the morning and ends at noon. There is no market made up of shops where people live. Instead people use a piece of matting, which they spread out on the earth. Each of them has her own position, and I believe that fees are charged for these locations'. The words of Chinese envoy, Chou Ta Kuan, who visited Cambodia during the reign of Indravarman III (1296-1308).
