• Use simple Thai phrases for bargaining, such as 'Can you lower the price?' (ลดราคาได้ไหมครับ/ค่ะ?, Lot rakha dai mai krab/kha?). • Carry cash and small change; many local vendors prefer cash transactions and may not accept cards. • Be friendly and smile; a warm demeanor can go a long way in making transactions smoother and more enjoyable.
