confusion

Silly thing happen while I was in BKK over the weekend. This was my conversation with a Thai person I am bargaining for a better deal.

Thai guy: Sawadika
Me: Hi
Thai guy: Sir, take your time to look look. Things here cheap cheap
Me: ok

Minutes later

Me: how much for this?
Thai guy: 400 Baht
Me: No 400 Baht, hmm.... I pay only 200 baht
Thai guy (sheepish smile): cannot too low, 350 B
Me: No 200 B
Thai guy: okok, I give best price. 300 B
Me: 250 B, you say cheap cheap
Thai guy: ok 280 B my final offer.
Me: ok.

Taking out the money and paying

Thai guy: Thank you, "insert some thai greeting"
Me: Merci. au revoir
Thai guy: (stun look)


Ok I think I spend too long in France. Anyhow, I also realise that I could have shorten the above into just the last 3 lines. But well, thats how my brain works
