Helpfulness
There are many vendors on the climb up to the cave temples. A simple, "no thank you" will suffice unless you've shown interest in what they are selling and then they are pretty persistent.
Sometimes vendors at tourists sites are selling handicrafts at ridiculous prices but sometimes not. Some prices at sites were right in line with what the stores in towns charged for similar items. Other times, there was a serious markup - cultural triangle fund publications, for example. Even after bargaining, you may pay a bit for the convenience of buying off the side of the mountain.
Once you've looked at something, it may take lots of "no, really, I'm not interested"s to shake them. Keep in mind that they are trying to make a living. There are no vendors inside the temples.
