Bargaining Tips Mostly every shops and markets in Thailand do not have fix price and you still can bargain, if you buy many even get cheaper.  Tipping also it depend on you how much that you want give.

Tipping
Tipping is not a usual practice in Thailand although it is becoming more common.  Most hotels and restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill.  Taxi drivers do not require a tip, but the gesture is appreciated.  

Bargaining
Fixed prices are the norm in department stores, but at most other places bargaining is to be expected.  Generally, you can obtain a final figure of between 10-40% lower than the original asking price.  Much depends on your skills and the shopkeeper's mood. But remember, Thais appreciate good manners and a sense of humor.  With patience and a broad smile, you will not only get a better price, you will also enjoy shopping as an art.
