Some travel tip

I found a couple of interesting travel tip from Thailand Authority of Thailand, so i bring it here to share with our readers.

 Beware of scams involving tuk tuks, gem shops, and tailors, particularly around popular tourist attractions. Remember, there is no such thing as a free ride.
 
Its better to flag down taxis that are already driving (the red light means empty); these will generally use the meter while parked taxis typically ask for higher fixed fares or will take you for the proverbial ‘ride’.  

During the monsoon season months of June through September rains come quickly and heavily, particularly in the afternoon. Adequate footwear and an umbrella are advisable.

Na Ja Sa Tai Zhi shrine (ศาลเจ้าหน่าจาซาไท้จื้อ) was located at Tambon Ang-Si-La, Chonburi.
This

The peace and tranquility of this sacred place has drawn a lot of visitors to worship and make a prayer for the flourished life.

Shopping guidelines. Should I bargain?

One of the most enjoyable parts that many ladies love to do in Thailand, especially Bangkok, is to shopping. No matter shopping malls to street-side stands, have you ever wondered if the price is right? bargain or not bargain??
Here is some guidelines
In department stores - you are not expected to bargain. You have to buy at the tag price.
(however, the small kiosks that rent a place in the department stores are owned by individuals. In most cases, the prices can be bargained)

Food & restaurants  -- No bargain.

Street-side stalls (cloths, souvenir, etc.) -- You can try to bargain.

A very good tip for bargaining with Thai people is "Smile". Make it with politeness and smiley face, rather than demanding action.

Another good tip is "be an early bird". Many Thai stallholders believe that if the first person asks for the prices and makes purchase, they will be good fortune and will make good selling for the whole day. It simply means , they will be very open to your counter-offer price. This basically gives you a little bit more advantage to make a good bargain.

Enjoy shopping!!
