1. Its loud.
2. Its dirty.
3. Everyone rips you off.
First day bought a pinapple for 25,000 VND (50B / 1.28 $), the next time for 14,000 VND (26b / 0.75 $ )
Today bought some fruit, the woman decided she would try to charge, 50,000 VND ( 96B / 3.125 $) for not even half a Kilo. Gave her 20,000 VND which is still around 3x - 4x price of BKK.
4. The food is expensive, went to foreigner restaurant the first night, the food was awful and expenive. Since, have been eating on the street or local restaurant, some have a special paper menu for foreigners, but when its time to pay they have to check the price as they cant remember. I never see them checking the price with the locals, the vendor knows the price already.
5. The food is pretty bad.
6. Nobody wants there pictures taken.
The good things,
1. Sometimes the food is really nice.
2. There are some really good things to photograph.
