Most things are bargainable but you may not be able to get the price you wanted. For food stuffs, they will reduce the price but cheat you on the weight.

This is the final part of my Thailand Trip Itinerary 2014 from 2 to 18 November. For this trip, we have travelled to Bangkok, Chiangmai, Chiang Rai, Ayutthaya and Hatyai. It is a very satisfactory and fulfilling trip visiting many places, taking part in festive celebrations and enjoying lots of Thailand food and delicacies.
