Foreigners bargaining fail in Thekkady Kerala India

[@adtc]

There is no bargaining in Kerala. You can bargain in other states in India but in Kerala, they say, you pay.

[@Dutchified]

So true, that's what I experienced. Great place either way.

[@Sunj7]

There's no cheating either

[@deepesvr1956]

Most of the shops in Kerala not allow to bargain,because of fixed price and fair.You can try in other states.

[@justinkumily]

Hai the last shop you visited was not a keralaite shop it's a Kashmir shop you should bargain. Mostly kerala we don't bargain

[@dkking931]

There isn't any bargain in Kerala specially in shops .In streets you can have a try. They aren't over priced to bargain ... Most of the shops are standard price for tourists include locals .. If you do a big purchase they may consider give you some discount ..

[@arjunjmenon]

Tears on Mercy true for actual cities and towns ,but tourist spots such as thekkady shown in this video will have inflated prices for tourists ( anything packaged or branded can't be inflated as they will have maximum retail price on it ) , but handicrafts , other souvenirs WILL definitely be inflated for western tourists .

[@saicharandachepally1253]

aah buddy though being a south Indian i never had the opportunity to visit kerala. you are really lucky and its a nice choice of yours to visit kerala.

[@Dutchified]

+sai charan dachepally I was very fortunate to be able to visit and see so much of Kerala. It is really beautiful. You should make a plan to visit in the future.

[@saicharandachepally1253]

Dutchified definitely...and amsterdam's flower gardens are on my wish list to visit.beautiful they are, aren't they?

[@jodiedarlingauthor]

Love how colorful the clothes are in India!

[@Dutchified]

The textiles are a real visual treat. It's amazing to see the variety of colours on regular people. So vibrant.

[@suruchis2726]

Your enthusiasm makes all the differenece..

[@Dutchified]

Thanks. People were so nice that it was easy to be enthusiastic.

[@scorp2915]

hey you missed so many good places in Kerala..like Athirapilly water falls...bekhal fort.....

[@Dutchified]

chris george We saw a lot of Kerala. I still have a few videos coming, but of course we didn't see everything. There was way too much to see and do. It's an amazing place.

[@terinmathew]

Nicely made live videos...... thanks

[@Dutchified]

We had a great time exploring this town. People were so friendly.

[@MALLUFARAN]

[@ClassicJany]

Great video, you get a real sense of what its like being over there!

[@Dutchified]

Thanks. There is an awesome atmosphere in Kerala. Really great place.

[@anjubabu4800]

your videos are awesome..

[@Dutchified]

Glad you like my videos. I had a great time in Kerala. I'm glad I was able to make a number of videos to show it off.

[@sunilnjr1716]

Really interesting video

[@sunilrahim4543]

Very nice video sir God bless you. ..

[@lechuzz1613]

Ha ha ha lol.. 😂 I just enjoyed it🤣🤣 and never ever expect tht you can bargain over cashew nuts in kerala It's just like 916 gold. Price will be fixed.😂😂

[@CaptureTheWonders]

Looks like so much fun shopping over there! Does the singing bowl change frequencies if you put anything into it or rub it at a different speed?

[@Dutchified]

It was such fun. The singing bowl does indeed change frequency if you place water in it and/or rub at different speeds or pressures. They are great. I've subsequently seen smaller ones in Amsterdam at zen/yoga type stores.

[@sumeshayyappankutty3225]

hey bro.. I am a proud keralite... loved yur video.... u still got ripped off with the musical bowl.... sorry to say.... ☺ make sure next time start bargaining 1/3rd of the price.... u see Kerala has 93 percentage literacy rate and everyone over there reads newspaper and very smart people... u guys should be very very smart to get good deals... next time contact me.. I can provide u some tips....

[@Dutchified]

Thanks for your excellent comment. I did have a feeling that I got ripped off a bit, but it was such fun anyway. It's great that literacy rates are so high in Kerala. It's an amazing place. I feel so privileged to have experienced so much of it.

[@noahj_official]

As a mallu,I advice you not to get tricked by the shoppers bcs when they see foreigners they add up price .So buy many things with your money not just one thing 😂

[@Dutchified]

Good advice. It was such fun either way.
