  • My Fellow Travelers... How many of us have been ripped off by some person selling products for twice the price of the next person???

    I was at the markets at Batu Feringgi Markets and there was this man trying to sell another tourist a table runner for 25 RM, normally I wouldnt mention it but the previous night I had seen the exact same table runner being sold for 10 RM...

    At Least Do This: My advice would be to go for a walk along the stalls and then take a look at the prices and ask about the price if you are not sure.

    It will save you a few more dollars with wiser shopping so you can get more shopping done in while you are there... also one less tourist being ripped off by designer fakes.

    Also if you are looking for LV bags, you probably wont find many in the shops around George town but they have tons in Batu Feringgi
    Alternative: If all else fails Pragin Malls is very good for shopping (but beware its that good there are lots of locals there)
