TRAVELER FAQ

Answers worth checking before you leave.

Do all stalls accept international cards?

No single payment rule covers every vendor. Carry cash or another backup and confirm before ordering.

Is it good for solo travelers?

Yes. Many foods are sold as individual snacks or takeaway, so you do not need a group meal.

Are all shops open until 9:00 PM?

The official guide gives 10:00 AM–9:00 PM as general hours but notes that individual stores vary.
