Every evening, traders from all around the region gather here, around the Royal Palace. They set up their tents illuminated by many little light bulbs and all sorts of handcrafts are displayed: silk scarves, clothing, shoes, umbrellas, silver, paper and many more. Prices are very cheap but what’s most astonishing is the market’s silence. Yes, silence and calm in an Asian market; no hard selling, just shy welcoming smiles.To make the experience even more unusual, all of the sudden a blackout leaves the whole market in complete dark. A general collective sigh and than no panic, no more sounds, just candles lighting one by one in perfect peace to let you see again the same inviting smiles.
