Negotiation
Friendly bargaining is expected for many items, especially crafts and textiles. Start by offering about 60-70% of the asking price and work toward a mutually agreeable amount.
Local Customs
Greet vendors with "Assalamu alaikum" or "Nomoshkar" as a sign of respect. Ask before taking photos of people or their goods. Dress modestly and be mindful of local cultural sensitivities.
Bring Your Own Bag
Bring a reusable shopping bag or basket to carry your purchases. This is both environmentally friendly and practical, as plastic bags may be limited.
Cash Only
Most vendors only accept cash. Bring small denominations of Bangladeshi Taka, as vendors may have limited change available, especially early in the day.
