Sightseeing Tour - Shopping
|
 |
| |
| Bangkok is most popular shopping
locations in Asia because prices are considerably
inexpensive, quality generally high and the range
and variety is uncountable. Silks, gemstones, tailor-made
clothes and traditional handicrafts are most popular
souvenirs for Toursits to Bangkok.
Most shops open 10.00am to 10.00pm everyday, and
night markets carry on even after this hour. Basically,
you can go into the town or other shopping districts
at any time you want.. Buying a shopping map is very
useful in order to get the most out of shopping in
Bangkok.
Most vendors and staff at stores speak good enough
English, though non-fixed prices are often bargained
by you and the vendor taking turns in typing numbers
into a calculator. It's worth learning how to say
the numbers in Thai - this is easy, will save the
calculator routine and may well get you cheaper prices
too. Street stalls and shops on the street will generally
have lower prices for the same product than those
paying premium rents in hotel shopping arcades and
some higher end shopping centers and department stores.
The price difference can also reflect on the quality
of the product though. Duty Free shopping can be done
at the Thailand Duty Free Shops Company branch in
the World Trade Center on Ratchadamri road. |
