An Thuong Night Market — Local services in Đà Nẵng

For the past 3 months we have lived in an apartment right in the middle of this night market and I can safely say there is no crazy loud karaoke music playing all day.

The food vendors here we watch set up daily, pouring the heart and soul into their businesses. They work long hours trying to make a living, and we often see seafood platters at great prices on weekdays and later in the night. They even have some family fun activities, with rides, painting and game stalls for children.

More entertainment too would help liven the night market and attract more guests. There are far too many massage shops, and to be honest they are the ones doing the most hassling as you walk down the street.

As a film maker I do try and help people travel and this is an experience YOU DON’T...

The singers of the music band bellow like a bunch of drunken football fans. But it's not karaoke, it's dance music for the local population. A painful soundscape develops around the An Thuong Night Market in the evenings, sometimes lasting until midnight. It's a harsh burden on the tourism industry that is ignored and tolerated by the authorities.

I was staying in a relatively expensive hotel in the area. The noise of the music prompted me to change hotels. For every single dong that the music venture takes in, the hotels in the area probably lose 1000 dong. Why the hotel industry is not taking action here is...
