No because my value perceptions are based on living most of my life in the United States. Yes anything with numbers on it I get that, it's when you have to ask what the price is, then chances are it will get jacked-up.crazy88 wrote:Deep Blue wrote

Bag of pineapple with 25 written on it at the market I assume 25 Bt. Petrol station with 26.25 91 sign I assume I am getting fuel for 26.25 Bt. Length of steel with 480 written on it I assume 480 Bt. Pretty sure I pay the same for a big mac as anyone else. Yes you need to negotiate on many things and it is not unique to this culture. Try buying a carpet in Dubai. Simply KNOW the value of the product you want and make your decision to buy based on what you are happy with paying.

Everything selling in America has a price on it because we have mandatory item pricing laws and unlike here, there’s no dual pricing system done by the government that encourages Thais to do the same thing in their small businesses. America has a billion laws for everything, this would come under Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, probably 250,000 employees and a budget of 500 billion, LOL and then you have individual states different laws.dundrillin wrote:And that does not happen in the states?Deep Blue wrote:No because my value perceptions are based on living most of my life in the United States.
