Where in PP to get art & statues CHEAP?

Post by MrJoyce »

Hey everyone,

Im here a couple of days, ive checked out the night market and jeez stuff is overpriced, buddha statues, oil paintings on linen.

Its not worth what theyre asking and being a barang/just having english means haggling has a more limited effect, and its tiring work.

this is obv. a market for tourists. Where is a good place to buy this stuff at reasonable prices, as im only familiar with a tiny bit of the city? (its all mass produced stuff anyway, the producers are getting a tiny cut and i would buy 5x more if it was 5x cheaper)

:please:
