Often, night market / bazaar are often seen in tourist area. Be it in Bangkok, Laos, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Egypt etc. So just as when you are excited to get the next souvenir on the street, your worst nightmare begins- Bargaining.
Below are some tips that I had picked up from experiences and observations of season bargain hunters I met at tourist market.
How should we bargain at tourist market?
2. Learn some basic language
3. Bargaining is an art, see it as interaction!
4. Ask them to offer you the preferred price first
5. Bargain, Bargain & Bargain it lower
6. Comb through the market to gauge the “market price”
7. Have your mobile phone ready
8. Learn to walk away if price do not suits you
9. Buy in larger quantity
It is just that simple, so go all out to enjoy bargaining at the night market/bazaar! However, do keep in mind as well that these vendors are working hard to earn a living , so do not go overboard with your prices you offered too.
