Why would you ask for advice? It seems you have found what you wanted.

Russian Market btw is not because you're white but because it is a great place, a village in a big city, many small shops, small but excellent restaurants, bakeries, and of course the market.
It's a great place to be, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Thanks Joe, it sounds lovely. Do you know how far Boeung Salang is? Everyone tells me it鈥檚 a bit far but it seems very close to Russian Market.

Thanks

If it's far or not depends on your personal reflection.

It's not so far, being like 3-4 km from TTP (Russian market). But when traveling it might take you 30 minutes or more to get there, due to heavy and erratic traffic .

Hope this helps.
