Probably the largest market I have ever seen, it's THE place to buy your typical tourist purchases at bargain prices, we saw things in this market at least 3 times cheaper than the same items being sold at the rocks market in Sydney. more

This place, seriously, has everything. There are ATMs & restrooms on premis. There is also a little bar with super friendly service. And this place is HUGE !! With... more
