Beach vendors
Mai suu, kha! If I said "No buy" in Thai, then beach vendors would keep on their path walking along the sand selling pineapples, corn, tapestries, dresses, and bracelets. I was amazed at how abundant the beach vendors were on Sairee Beach on the island of Koh Tao. Often, they were more persistent than I've experienced vendors in Thailand so far, which is probably why I broke down and bought a dress from one man. I even utilized my bargaining skills!
