Shopping in Pasar Tanah Abang

This is the largest market in South East Asia, you can find textile, clothes, dresses, many more in Pasar Tanah Abang (I recommend going to Blok B or Metro Buildings for first timer). The vendors here are used to have buyers from South East Asia so you can shop around without worry, also they can ship your orders as well. Don’t forget to bargain and negotiate your price! That’s the beauty of traditional market shopping.

Qué empacar

Comfortable, conservative summer clothing is preferred.

Depending where you go, if you are going to public area / shopping malls you may dressed freely. However, if you walk around outside or on the road, better dress appropriately (for female) with pants or longer skirts/ dresses so you can use motorcycles as well if needed.
