Thanks for this very informative report; a great read. I am pleased to read that you did not let the late departure detract from a teriffic holiday.
I do agree with the point you made about starting prices when bartering in Thailand compared to Bali. However, as long as you know the difference, you can simply adjust your technique as you did. Walking away certainly presents a strong message.
