I love markets in Vietnam and the one in Hoi An has a totally different vibe. Colorful lanterns, smell of food and variety of souvenirs are everywhere. There are many fresh fruit to try and they even make ice cream of them
I love Asian Markets and this one was no disappointment at all. I had a good massage, bargained for ice cream and some souvenirs. Khmer people are open to tourists and sometimes they seem like they want to rip us off but after a small chat they become more trusting.
We spent hours there, bought some nice stuff. The best place to do shopping in Chiang Mai as there is a lot of choice, vendors bargain hard and if you're stubborn you get what you want!
Great market with locals only, maybe a few random foreigners every now and then. It covers a long area, there's plenty of shade and you can buy best quality of fruit, vegetables, meat and ready dishes, all coming from local vendors. Delicious!
