Anyone knowledgable as to how much is a good price for things in phuket?

I don't want to get ripped off, but i don't know the price of a bargin.

How much should I expect to pay for Sea Canoe, Elephant treking, ppara sailing, jet skiing, snorkeling etc? I have researched on the internet, but what is the best price possible so i have an idea when i bargain?


Your mentioned activities are usually fixed prices, unless it is for a group of people (some discounts might be considered). For shopping, I have this to say: Never buy at the FIRST shop! This is where you checked out the price ;-) Now that you know the price, go hunting and bargain downwards. It all depends on the value of the item. Price can be slashed off as much as 50% off the initial asking price. Only buy when you think it is a reasonable offer. Walked away when you have offered your FINAL price (and not accepted by the vendor). He'll call you back if he really wants to sell it to you. AND NEVER CHECK THE PRICE (OF THE SAME ITEM, AT ANOTHER SHOP) once you have made a purchase - you might be heart broken (that you could actually get a BETTER price) :-)

Prices are always negotionable there but most of the time things are cheaper there anyways, you shouldn't have to bargain that much, if you are visiting they will try to get as much as possible just tell them that you have been there before and you have never paid that much. Good Luck

For a start, dont buy them from the package tour company (if you are going with one).

There are many (MANY!) tour shops in each of the resorts. Get a quote off one, go to another, tell them you can get it chaper at X Agents, they will bring the price down.

Also, go last thing at night maybe 1 hour before they close for an activity you want to do the following day. You can get the price right down to the bone doing that.

Ask the concierge in any hotel, they can give you the going rates.

Typically, these prices are non-negotiable. But if you have a travel agent ID card, you may get them for free.
