Haggling

[Smiles]

My take (vast!) on the hagglin' game goes generally like this. Firstly I only haggle at the beach and lots of Thai markets.
Start at 20% off. They will take a pouting offence and laugh. Then I offer 10-15% off and some seconds later I walk off having haggled an OK 12%. Big deal.
If I'm in the mood I'll haggle, if not I pay full price plus a small tip.

Once I tried haggling at Bangkok Paragon (just for fun) and was leered at in disdain. Covered my tracks by "just joking ha ha ha".

Omg at the paragon ....very brave of u.

I would never dream of haggling at Siam Paragon, but in some of the watch shops there they'll quickly offer a 20% discount if you hesitate or tell them its too expensive.

Same same in Central Festival watch department in Pattaya.

Like sexually, prices in Thailand department stores can be 'fluid".

Ha...as far as I can tell not only is sexuality fluid but what they are prepared and willing to do for cash.
I have miraculously convinced many a straight "man" to bottom.
