I went out of my way to get to this place (there's not much else nearby) as I remembered it as a good place from previous visits. However, I was disappointed.

Only visit this place if you want to buy overpriced boring souveniers. Seriously I was so annoyed after I went to this place, couldn't believe I wasted my time to go there. No atmostphere, no customers and overpriced items on sale. You can find much better souveniers if you walk around the areas near the major temples. More
