You will definitely like this place. Souvenirs, clothes ... you name it!! Haggle the price, dont be naive. If you're thinking about buying something at the airport, you are just one sad loser. This place sells everything at half the airport-shop price.
Snatch theft has been reported. Dress simple. Keep cash well tucked in your pockets.
What to buy: Beautiful handicraft made from coral shells. The white ones are of low quality. Look for darker shells, possibly with lacquer finish or glazed.
What to pay: Expect to spend USD20-40. If luggage isn't a problem, sky is the limit!
