Answer

Bargaining is a common practice at night markets, so don't be shy! Start by asking for the price and then offer a lower amount; vendors often expect some negotiation.

• A friendly smile and a casual tone can go a long way. Building a rapport with the vendor might make them more willing to give you a better deal.

• If you're buying multiple items, mention that! Vendors are often more willing to lower prices if they see you're interested in buying more than one thing.

Opening days, menus and prices change, especially in quieter months. Check recent information, confirm dietary requirements directly and use busy, well-kept stalls or restaurants where food is cooked and stored properly.

Prices, schedules, access rules and operating hours can change, so confirm the current details with the provider or relevant authority before travelling.
