Tachilek Market is similar to the Thai markets just across the border.
The most popular things to buy were probably DVDs - which were very cheap, of very good quality. You bought a few heavy box sets and were good quality. Sunglasses and magnified readers were also very cheaply available at the market. Clothing of reasonable quality, watches and bags were plentiful, with a huge range to choose from themany shops.
