Re: Haggling
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".
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand

Re: Haggling
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".

Re: Haggling
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.
