Bargaining
Remember that prices for almost everything are negotiable. When a tour operator
shows you a glossy brochure with prices, those are normally just the starting point
for negotiations. Ask for discounts and check with other merchants for price quotes.
Even smaller guesthouses will reduce their nightly rates if you bargain a bit.
Reduced Admissions
Many museums, sights, and activities are free; if there is a charge, it is usually re-
duced for children under 12. Where it is not clear, you can simply ask if your child
can enter without paying admission, and they might assent. Museums and activities
in Thailand do not generally provide special rates for senior citizens or students.
