Groceries are inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce, meat, and seafood at very reasonable prices. Eating out is also quite affordable, with local restaurants and street food being much cheaper than dining in more Western-style restaurants. Transportation costs are also low, with affordable options such as tuk-tuks, motorbike rentals, and public buses. However, owning a car can be more expensive due to high import taxes.
