DON'T TRY Bargaining With Singaporean Locals 🇸🇬

Today's adventure was a fake market challenge to see how far my money could go on Bugis Street in Singapore. In 2022 Singapore was the MOST expensive city in the world so let's just see how much money I spend today!

Bugis has changed a lot. It was the first market I went when I landed in Singapore. Great memories over the years.

[@MrJermson]

They are not locals. They are foreigners working in Sg.

[@limchyehock6722]

Almost half of Singapore 's population are foreigners. All the sales staff, waiters, cashiers etc are mostly foreigners. That's why most of them are clueless.

[@JesusLovesHisCreations]

@@limchyehock6722 atm it’s likely 75% r foreigners…

[@ivanft9194]

Hahhaha what do you expect south east asia famous for immigrants to throw shits

[@expresssoh]

Faked goods are illegal in Singapore but there are many branded goods inspired designs though

[@paecpc]

Most of the retail staffs in Singapore are foreigners, hardly any local Singaporean.

[@cm2238]

Good job on the hustle David

[@sngjoolian]

Oh I'm 63 years I didn't know there is black market in Singapore. They were foreigners

[@creepington464]

Went to the Place today. Fantastic items especially when you Like essentials Thanks for the vid 🙏🏼

[@rebecamendoza683]

Wow I love you're vlog idol David thai, so amazing places , 👍♥️😍♥️🙏😎

[@meditation131]

Awesome Bro them Essentials Tops look good quality and i liked the LA hat with the little lettering,,keep up the good work Bro.. 🤙🤙

[@davidkhai]

Essentials top was quality. Appreciate it bro

[@AvengeBasketball]

SG doesnt do fake/pirated goods and 90-95% of the shop keepers at Bugis Street are from Malaysia, China, Vietnam. The best way to drink brown sugar bubble tea is not to shake it....The auntie is clueless lol.

[@ricianeseaninformationchan6418]

But i got fake airpods 🥺 and its a scam. Could have bought on shopee 🥺

[@kennyzeng21]

that's surely a fake essentials

[@akoj3262]

....... some bbt need to be "shake" .... because the sugar is right at the bottom....

[@gudeliaguarino6275]

I know next time where to visit,nice copies items and nice qualities as well. Take care

[@tangt4860]

Please, most of the sellers there are not real Singaporeans but foreign 3rd world imports.

[@dianaleo6056]

Thanks for supporting Singapore! 👍👍👍

[@davidkhai]

My pleasure! Amazing country :)

[@asiandessertzine2282]

It's hard to do fake in SG; you'll get raided...

[@mayvun2070]

This video is a showcase of Singapore market place Good choice of colour- T-shirt that you bought looks good . Are you planning to visit Orchards Street Shops? This reminds me in Sydney - market like this .. David, thanks mate for the raw content .

[@davidkhai]

Haven't got Orchards Street Shops on my list, perhaps in the future. Thanks May!

[@limchyehock6722]

Orchard Road. There is no Orchard Street.

[@mayvun2070]

@@davidkhai I beg your pardon, Orchard Road It’s been quite awhile since visiting 🇸🇬

[@mayvun2070]

Thanks for noticing

[@limchyehock6722]

Football jersey go to Queensway or Peninsula Shopping Centre.

[@davidkhai]

Thanks for the tip Lim!

[@PREPFORIT]

You did find quality at a great price. I remember "Peninsula Plaza" having some football Jerseys. YES, Singapore Law comes down Hard on anyone selling fakes.

[@mayvun2070]

Thanks for the reply mate Cheers

[@limchyehock6722]

Yes SG also have very strict laws pertaing to Copy Rights and Individual Property.

[@a.l6135]

Love Singapore and their law. Does a lot of justice for the original creators.

[@flizzow17]

Grade A soccer jersey can find in heartlanders like Bt Gombak.

[@sunnysunshine1400]

Hi David long time no see miss you ka!!😃😃

[@davidkhai]

Hey! It has been haha. Hope you're well :)

[@JhunM69]

Hello David! I just want to share a bit of information with you. Don't get too hung up on "original" or copied (made somewhere in Asia). I've learned this years ago while shopping inside a "Ralph Lauren" store in San Diego, California, and even in one of the major department stores. I found a knit shirt which I think was superbly made, with fine stitching, and very soft cotton. When I look inside the label for size, the other label attached to it says "Made in the Philippines" hahaha! Then another time, it was made in India. Basketball shoes, AT A NIKE STORE that I am buying for my niece in the Philippines (I was going there for a vacation), the latest style, cost a lot of money, MADE IN CHINA... for myself, on a different store, I was lucky to find Puma shoes made in the US. Otherwise, the majority of designer brands here in the US are made somewhere in Asia.

[@davidkhai]

Haha that is interesting! This shirt was good quality which is what I mainly look for. Thanks Junior!

[@mintitathailand8793]

Hi guy from Thailand🇹🇭

[@nightlyo1]

I can still remember the dollar i spent on that market 😂 but it was nice ❤

[@kelvinwenjie5255]

singapore market is hard to bargain as majority of the price are fix

[@sydney8382]

Mate bought that exact fake LA cap in thailand and in a week that silver metal bit started rusting from his sweat

[@davidkhai]

haha that Thailand heat will get you good

[@ronneldizon792]

In Philippines that hat is around 100 to 150 pesos only.

[@davidkhai]

Definitely much cheaper in Philippines. Singapore last year was tied with New York for the most expensive Cities in the world!

[@Jokeerrrrrr]

I don’t think that AirPod cases are fake.

[@user-pi3pi1xd9m]

Hello david, did you find any jordan 4 or other replcia trainers ?

[@davidkhai]

I don’t recall unfortunately

[@SusanLAX]

When you go back to the Philippines go to 168 mall in Divisoria, Manila or Greenhills Mall for knock offs you have more choices than the streets of Quiapo

[@joshualee8151]

divisoria is very very sketch... my ex was a local and even the local ppl cut her bag from the bottom and lost her wallet cuz she was with a "dayuhan" as for green hills i bought like 12 chanel j12 chrono in white ceramic or 35 a piece talked them down from 60 at diff vendors... ended up selling them as replicas for 300 a piece at a local flea market in st louis area... i think the watches is the only thing worth to buy personally... if u know the watches well anyways and STAY AWAY FROM QUIAPO!!!!! my ex brother in law took me there once n carried a gun... and my ex yelled at him to bring me there... tho that was back in 2009 maybe its changed? quiapo and tondo U DONT TREAD ON!!

Grey looks better on you. White Hat....yes we call Boba Tea

[@chalayan]

I'm a Singaporean but never into bubble tea. Too sweet for me plus not into milk tea too.

[@davidkhai]

What are some favourite Singaporean drinks to try?

[@samuel_6900]

​@@davidkhai local favourit is definitely mr coconut no sugar (add an coconut ice cream on top if you're cheeky)

[@maya-db3gv]

u can change the sugar % for bbt. the sweetness of the sugar % varies on the stores u go to as some stores sugar % is sweeter than others. i usually order mine 25% at chicha san chen. if u like tea, their green tea is really good.

[@chalayan]

@@maya-db3gv I know but never into the bubble tea or milk tea. I prefer tea leaves or juices.

[@davidkhai]

@@maya-db3gv Good to know for next time, thanks!

[@kennyzeng21]

the fake essentials material looks thick but not sure if it's good. original one i think u could get around SGD 100?

[@davidkhai]

Quality has been really good surprisingly! A lot better than other shirts that I have which is nice. A real original one? Yeh perhaps SGD 100, but I have seen them for even way more in Australia

[@BailJSMC]

david are there any good markets in Australia?

[@davidkhai]

There are a lot of markets but not fake markets like Thailand or Philippines. Quite strict of the laws like Singapore

[@GoodGood-vb8gm]

You can be fined for jaywalking in Singapore ... and the USA, a 'free' country.

Honestly I’m a pure born bred Singaporean, I’ve never been to Bugis street myself..😂😂

[@gumbie007gumbie007]

Where is this my wife is traveling soon can't afford the real deal lol

[@keizee107]

Singapore doesnt have much of a culture in bargaining. It's a take it or leave it kind of mindset.

[@aforadorable6006]

There are many fake goods in every country even the rich ones. I got one in Qatar, a pair of shoes. Haha. (Qatar GDP per capita is $82,887 higher than Singapore.)
