Description
Too much greatness for this tiny space. In short: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand. Markets, all the street food, beaches, temples, snorkeling, more food, sights, homestays, really, really freaking amazing temples (ie Angkor), fish pedicures, long-tail boat rides, more food… GREATNESS.
There’s over 400 tailors in Hoi An. Here’s our top shopping tips:
If you want something made from scratch, bring along a picture from a magazine or a USB stick with some designs that you like.
Shop around. Don’t just go to the first place you see.
Be super clear – don’t just ask them to “take your skirt up a few inches” or you’ll soon be exposing more than just your lack of preparation.
