Answer
Bargaining is part of the fun at Phuket's markets! Start by offering around 50% of the vendor's initial price to kick things off. Vendors usually expect you to negotiate, so don't be shy.
• It's also a good idea to be friendly and engage in conversation with the vendor. This can create a more relaxed atmosphere and often leads to better deals.
• In addition, try to shop later in the day when vendors are more eager to make sales-especially if they have items they want to move before closing.
Compare qualifications, hygiene, inclusions and the total price. For evening venues, plan safe transport home and note that programmes and opening hours can change.
Prices, schedules, access rules and operating hours can change, so confirm the current details with the provider or relevant authority before travelling.
