SHOPPING
Khao Lak has a big
variety of shopping items, souvenirs, T-Shirts, cloths,
handmade tailor wear, jewelry, gems, local handicrafts and
fine arts.
All these you will find in one of
the various shops around or in the evening there is the so called
Dragon Market - located on the main road. Stroll around, take a
break with a nice drink, there are a lot of chill out places
in between.
Bargaining is an art long practiced in Asian countries including
Thailand. So feel free to ask for a proper discount when
shopping in places where prices are not marked.
Be careful
in dealing with sidewalk vendors who may not offer genuine goods at
fair prices. Receipts should be obtained for the goods you buy. For
jewelry you must get a certificate of guarantee as well.
Some
shops can offer a money-back guarantee but you should clearly
determine all conditions with the shopkeeper
beforehand.
