How to negotiate with the locals politely when traveling to Thailand?

Bargaining in Thailand is not much different from that in China. You just need to be as friendly as possible and give a reasonable price that you can accept after knowing the price. The price should not be too low. You can discuss with the store in good faith, both soft and hard, but you should be conscious when bargaining, and you can't make a big mouth.

When we travel, we always inevitably want to buy some local specialties or souvenirs for our relatives and friends. But the prices of many things in tourist attractions are much higher than usual, so bargaining is also an essential process, so as to avoid being slaughtered and buy what you want at a reasonable price.

It is not easy to bargain when we don't know the language abroad. But in the Thai market, almost every booth will be equipped with a calculator, and you just need to type the price you think is reasonable on the calculator. In this way, businesses can understand what you mean and avoid the embarrassment of language barrier.

Or you can use the language translation function of the mobile phone to simply express your meaning. In Thailand, folk customs are relatively simple, and ordinary vendors can accept bargaining.

But it should also be noted that not all places can bargain, which is not much different from the domestic situation. For example, some large shopping malls and duty-free shops generally have no room for bargaining, but you can also politely ask if there is a discount. If not, don't pester them, which will not only fail to achieve the purpose of bargaining, but also lose face.
