I try to take each situation as it happens. I've not been in that particular situation, so I'm not sure what I would do.

I was up in Chiang Rai once at one of the tea plantations on Doi Tung. A mother and her children? came up to me to try and sell me some jewelry. I bought a bracelet because I liked it and had enough money to be generous. I then tried to get in our mini van (me and my thai family -- 8 people). Once I bought the one bracelet they were swarming me and making it nearly impossible for me to get to the van. My Thai father came over and shoooed them away. Once in the van they pounded the windows and tried very sad face to get me to buy more bracelets. I just smiled at them and waved. I bought one, and that's all I was prepared to do.
