  • The port is very busy and full of maritime traffic. Their temples are beautiful and they do not mind people taking photos of them as long you are out of their way. Their native dancers are pretty and talented. But the majority of local people are rude an impolite. The like to raise their voices when a stranger asks them for directions.Don't miss the fish market.
