SHOPPING
|
 What you can buy:
· Thai silks and cottons, batiks, silver, pottery, precious and semi-precious stones, dolls, masks, lacquer ware, pewter ware, bamboo artefacts and bronzeware.
|
 · T-Shirts, jeans and tailor-made clothes are also good value and can be made in a matter of days. |
 · Be careful in dealing with sidewalk vendors who may not offer genuine goods at fair prices. · Receipts should be obtained for the goods you buy. For jewelry 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.
|
A few things to remember:
· Bargaining is an art long practiced in Asian countries including Thailand. So feel free to ask for a discount when shopping in places where prices are not marked. |
