With the vendors smiling works really really well, if you fix them with a knowing grin as soon as they clock you it kinda sends them the message you know what the score is. Sometimes they won't even say anything at most they'll give a half-hearted "dvd/sexy movie/suit/whatever" line. A "mai ow kab" as falanger suggested will end it right there.

Really the people I see getting hassled the most are the ones who try to completely ignore them and those who start talking back excuses in english. With mai ow they not only understand better but it reinforces the image that you're not a noob tourist.
