This market is a unique experience. Did you know a brand X silk tie costs $2? The sellers are looking for suckers, so they start with a hugely inflated price. Haggle and you will get the fair market price. Just know what you want to pay and stick with it. This place is fun. There are plenty of decent fakes... More

First off, I am not a novice when it comes to markets or bargaining. However I found this market to be over the top in a very bad way. I have been to agressive markets where they really want you to buy, but the vibe is still positive and fun. The silk market was mean spirited. The prices started so... More

If your price is too low and below their cost price, they will not sell it to you. If they accept your price, it means they are still earning a... More

The vendors are so rude. Poor quality goods. Whoever taught these vendors to speak English must teach them with the right voice and intonation. The screaming vendors scared the civilization out of us. We never felt so verbally abused. Will never go back. More
