How To Shop In Thailand

If your trip can not be booked in advance of their first year to be a taxi driver from Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
Some drivers use their meters, while others want a fixed rate without the meter. This is the first time start to use their negotiating skills.
The driver can ask 500 baht. You counter with 300th Back to 400 baht. The user agrees to the condition that he pays the toll and surcharge of 50 baht. If you do not want to go by, they insist that the use of a meter. I prefer to negotiate, because it myself in the mood for the rest of the trip.
Some things are negotiable and some do not. Feel your way. I will try to make some suggestions.
You can get a little to negotiate in his hotel room when you are planning a longer stay. A meal in a restaurant can not resist.

If you have some things for you and your friends the best thing he can do is to buy want to spend a day or two lanes and take mental notes of prices in the streets.
Knowing the stage of the prize is the only way to negotiate the price. You need to know the price target for the road. Otherwise you will be ripped.
What I do is select an item, you get the best price possible, then go to kill. Tell the seller to the lower price and buy 10 of them. The price must fall.
Another tactic is the "mouth". You can argue and discuss, come and go, and the prices are not only on foot. The price should fall or the seller raises bad words about you. In any case, not much. There are many suppliers with the same elements.
The first customer is still a bargain. Thais believe that the sale is the first customer of the day happiness. Do not make a sale is a disaster. Then press the seller if they are open, and should get really good prices.
Another way to get a good deal, is a Thai girlfriend to have you trust. Take it with you when you are buying for themselves. Identify the items you want, then send one or two days after the purchase. You will receive the award in Thailand, compared with other countries or farang price.
The language helps to lower their prices. No need to go through all the back of the barter trade. If you are a foreign and Thai, which speak to eliminate the time and money quickly.
The last suggestion is to go to markets in Thailand. There are markets in all cities in Thailand. There are markets on weekends, some night markets, and some every day. These are directed mainly to areas with Thailand, but foreigners can get special offers, too.Have fun, smile a lot and shop till you drop.
