Shopping

Besides lounging on beaches, exploring temple compounds and learning about local culture, one of the most popular activities for visitors to Thailand is shopping.

There are a couple of reasons why shopping is so popular. The first is the sheer variety of goods on sale, including souvenirs that are typically Thai, and the second is the relative cheapness of goods here.

When shopping in markets, be prepared to bargain hard for something you want. Start by offering less than you are prepared to pay, then gradually increase your offer until a deal is struck. A playful mood is key to successful bargaining.
