I find the vendors in Bangkok much easier to negotiate with than the ones in Ho Chi Minh. In Vietnam, it’s a battle of wills to get a good price, and you’ll probably get slapped afterward (I guess that’s value added tax in Vietnam). In Bangkok, you can get them to drop the price from 50 to 75% with little effort.
Went to the Muay Thai fights last night. Knockouts left and right.
Today on to Phuket, where the plan is Alex poolside with a drink with an umbrella in it.
