    • You find these souvenir shops all around Asia. The prices are about double the price outside. The tour guide gets a commission for just bringing you to these shops. Don't buy anything, but if you must, buy some small stuff like a keychain or fridge magnets costing about US$1 to US$2. Otherwise, just note down whatever items you like and try to find them at Ben Than Market.

    At Least Do This: For just entering this shop, you'll get a free mini plastic fan which is useful during the hot season. This particular shop is in Chinatown.
