Bargain

In Germany it is not very usual to bargain about prices. You see how much it costs and you decide if you want to buy it or not.

In many cultures that is different.

In Thailand you can bargain about a lot.

You usually don`t bargain about food but the rest is fair game.

How much to pay for your Hotel if you stay longer, how much you pay for your scooter or cloth and especially how much you pay for your tuk tuk ride.

First it was kind of strange for me to ask for a better price but the more you get used to it and loose a bit of your inhibitions it actually becomes fun.

I still suck at it but as a farang in Thailand you pretty much bound to pay a premium.

What helped me a lot to nagoiate in Bangkok with the Taxi and Tuk Tuk drivers was that I can count in Thai.
Just throwing out a number in Thai got me an adventage.

The most fun and easiest for me it is on the nightmarket though. A market were seemingly everything gets sold. From cloth over food to pets ( by the looks of it they get treated pretty bad and I feel very sorry for them when I walk by ) you can buy and bargain.

It becomes almost like a dance.

"If I take 3 I pay you x"

"I give you 3 for y"

Back and forth till you come to an agreement...or not and try your luck at another vendor.

How about you? Are you used to bargain? How low is your first offer? Do you enjoy it or was it strange for you the first times as well?
