What are some tips for bargaining while shopping for handmade crafts in Pattaya?

Bargaining is quite common in Pattaya, especially at markets. Start by politely asking the vendor for their best price, and don’t hesitate to offer a lower amount. Often, they expect some negotiation. - It helps to do a little research on prices beforehand, so you have a good idea of what’s reasonable. If you really like something, show genuine interest, and that can sometimes lead to better offers. - Remember to keep the atmosphere friendly. A smile and a bit of light conversation can go a long way in making the vendor more willing to negotiate with you. Freshness note: Prices, opening hours, schedules, addresses and provider details can change. Confirm the current information directly before travelling or paying.
