Cultural Note
Bargaining is expected at markets and small shops, but not at malls or stores with price tags. Start by offering 50-60% of the asking price and negotiate from there. Always bargain with a smile - it's a friendly interaction, not a confrontation. If the price doesn't work, politely say "ไม่เป็นไร" (never mind) and walk away - they may call you back with a better price.
