Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
