Hello! Just a word of warning if you are coming to Hoi An to buy clothes. There are loads of amazing tailors in almost every other shop in the old town. We were approached whilst having a coffee by a lady who established it was our first day there. She managed to convince us to walk with her to her shop- which was actually in the market hall. She told us that the tailor we had originally planned to go to had closed, and was extremely friendly and flattering (in hindsight I should have known that this was just to get us to go with her but we were very tired and jet lagged!) once we were there we were pressured into choosing clothes styles and fabrics- to cut a long story short we paid about 5 times the price that we should have- and were made to pay in advance. I do realise that this is my own fault and that I was extremely naive- I have since heard from other tourists that their hotels warned them not to buy clothes from the stalls in the market. The clothes I received are made from very cheap fabric (think Temu fabrics!!) and would have actually cost less to make in the UK. I hope this post helps someone from making the same mistake we did 😣

Good Tailors,Restaurants etc don’t need to go out hawking on the streets
Good Tailors, Restaurants etc don’t need to go hawking on the streets. They survive on word of mouth.
New a this game I suppose, ah well we have all been there to some degree.
Hoi An is not different to any other major tourist destination in Vietnam, loads of scammers and very dodgy tailors. Best off to have clothes made in Ha Noi
It’s actually quite easy to learn numbers in any language and how much ,,,,
Was it stall 42?
