• Bargaining is an art long practised in Asian countries including Thailand. So feel free to ask for a proper discount when shopping in places where prices are not market.
• Be careful in dealing with sidewalk venders who may not offer genuine goods at fair prices.
• Receipts should be obtained for the goods you buy. For jewellery you must get a certificate of guarantee as well.
• Some shops can offer a money - back guarantee but you should clearly determine all conditions with the shopkeeper beforehand

MISCELLANY

• Clothing - Thin cotton is the best. A jacket or pullover may be necessary in the cool season, especially when you are in mountainous areas in the North or Northeast.
• Electricity - 220v 50 cycles throughout the country.
• Measurement of area - Thailand has its own system of area measurement. The basic units are square wa (= sq.m.) and rai (= 400 sq.ma or 1,600 sq.m. or 0.16 hectare).q
