I’ve been traveling through Thailand, the last three weeks. I have decided not to bargain with anyone because from my home country the currency here is extremely cheap. I’m not rich man in the United States, but I can easily afford Thai prices without bargaining. It makes me happy to be able to support local thais and be an ecotourist

U can bargain and still live good the fact that all of u are trying to live luxury just because things are cheaper doesn’t make any sense because u aren’t lowering your cost of living that way🤔.

Love the 'Don't bargain for food' tip. Very respectful and totally agree!

I was born in Bangkok but haven't lived there more than fifty years ago I Hartley recognize the city anymore After being away since the 1970's . I appreciate you for sharing Your Experience with me.

I think that tourists who behave badly, behave the same way in their own country. I went to Thailand right before the pandemic and the majority of tourists who were yelling, speaking loudly, and hogging places taking 10 minutes to take a photo, not caring they were blocking something scenic were not western tourists. They were so irritating that I filmed their yelling and screaming at Wat Pho. The people who wear bikinis and swim shorts in a mall are the same people who do it in their own country. I've seen them walking barefoot, sometimes wet or with sand on them walking around. They don't think they are being disrespectful, so they don't think they have to change their behavior while on vacation. Thanks for the reminders though.

I spend the majority of my time in the night life areas and I see many farang make the same mistake over and over again. When it comes to bar girls, just because you buy them a drink DOES NOT mean you own them! They are there for WORK!. If she gets up to greet another farang, and she then sits with him, Do Not get upset! She is WORKING!! Understand? Don't let that self righteous, self entitled fragile ego put you on the wrong foot over $3.00.

# 00 It is very important for everyone to respect their currency. The currency in Thailand, both paper and coin, bears a portrait of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej or a deceased relative. Do not step on a coin to stop it from rolling away or step on a Thai banknote to stop it from blowing away.
