    Ethical elegance from Northern Thailand’s mountainsEthical elegance from Northern Thailand’s mountains (Source: Internet)
    • Always smile and greet with “xin chào” (Vietnam), “sua s’dei” (Cambodia), “sabaidee” (Laos), or “sawasdee” (Thailand)

    • Bargaining is expected (except in fixed-price ethical shops) – start at 50–60% of the quoted price and meet in the middle with a smile

    • Support fair-trade and community projects whenever possible – your purchase directly helps artisans

    • Avoid buying items made from endangered species or ancient artefacts (illegal to export)
