There are steep discounts for buying in bulk. Bangkok, is really good to go with friends and is good to make friends as they really give discount if you buy in bulk or wholesale. The price can be cheaper by 30% to 40% for the wholesale price. the number of pieces required to purchase differ by vendor.
Therefore, remember to ask the price, then ask the whole price and number of pieces required. The hair accessories is like so much cheaper than Singapore price but the thing is we have to buy in bulk.

This trip, I realise that tuk tuk price has increased like twice or thrice and now is much more expensive to take it compared to taxis. The advantage of tuk tuk is definitely the experience and it is able to squeeze through tight spots.
However, the air is quite polluted and sometimes I feel tuk tuk is a bit dangerous.
My preferred transport is train as I hate traffic jams, is so boring and sometimes the taxi driver talk non stop and is quite worrying when I don't understand a single thing.
And on the train, I can play with my hp with ease.
