Some of you all knew specially those who have been in Thailand that bargaining in here anywhere mostly in Shopping malls are daily exestence and after a long hour of shopping you just want to go in your hotel directly. When you want to ride tuk-tuk and taxi if its late you will have to bargain the price, you should bargain it with smile and I hate the idea all about this since why just can't we pay exactly the real price? I'm from Philippines and it's not like here that you have to bargain all of the things! Like yesterday, i was bargaining the price in the Saloon for the relax of my hair which is very weird at all! But this the life here in Bangkok!

Do not buy any imitation DVD's since it sucks and a big ripped off for you! Some will play but you can get to have a nice volume!

Unique Suggestions: If possible, you should ask the hotel if whats the real price if you want to take a tuktuk ride so that in the next time you ride, you have the idea what's the real fare for it!

Buy the real ones, it's only 600 baht compare to the imitations which is 200 baht and really sucks! The choice is yours!

Fun Alternatives: Take the BTS Sky Train and if you really like DVD pirated then..can't blame you with that..some will play and some won't either! It's the beholders decission!

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
