Additionally, it&#8217;s essential that you carry a change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Scam Awareness: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like any other place, even in Phuket, you will get scammed if you are a tourist. Always get it for the price mentioned; instead of grabbing a product in the first store, look around and see what matches your price point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Export Regulations: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When shopping, we often overlook practical considerations. So, think twice before purchasing an item, as some can not be taken on flights, and some require permits. Examples: Narcotics, wildlife products, religious artefacts and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bargaining:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t hesitate to bargain or shy away. It is very common in Phuket, and even vendors appreciate it. Even so, there are fixed prices in particular shops and don\u2019t ask them to reduce the price too much, as it will not support the local business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Shipping: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We often make impulse purchases when there are many affordable options available. Instead of carrying it back or paying extra for the luggage, you can courier it to India.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheap Things to Buy in Phuket<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is always joy in getting things for less cost.
