Thailand Shopping

Thailand has been known as a shopper’s paradise for many years. From luxurious items such as jewelry, silk, designers’ clothing or accessories right down to the best of bargained goods. Fixed prices are the norm in shopping centers or department stores but at most other places like markets, street-stalls, etc., haggling is acceptable and expected. There’re no fixed rules when it comes to bargaining, generally you can get somewhere between 10-40% from the asking price. Depending on your skills and sometimes the shopkeeper’s mood. Being courteous with a sense of humor goes a long way when bargaining in Thailand, as Thais appreciate good manners. Being angry when bargaining will get you nowhere.

Another great thing about Thailand shopping is, even in Bangkok alone, the shopping is not limited to one or two shopping streets. There’re many areas throughout the city offering various choices and easy access. For example, Silom, Sukhumvit, Siam Square, Chatuchak weekend market or China Town. Many other cities outside of Bangkok also offer great shopping. Chiang Mai is ideal for traditional Thai handicrafts while Phuket is a great source for pearls and Pattaya has a wide selection of precious stones since it’s close to Chantaburi where numerous gems are found.

The Thai Hospitality

Thailand is known as “Land Of Smiles”, an impression the Tourism Authority of Thailand happily use to promote the tourism by focusing on its people’s hospitality. And if you spend any amount of time in most parts of Thailand, you will understand why this slogan has stuck for so long. Even in the buzzing capital city of Bangkok where people usually mind their own businesses, you can smile at a Thai and you can almost guarantee to get a smile back.

A lot of visitors consider this to be quite fascinating, considering the low incomes, polluted air, bad traffic and such, giving Thai people very little to smile about. Yet they still manage to be so happy-looking, friendly and willing to show you the true meaning of hospitality. Often, you don’t understand a word they’re saying to you but you will see a glow in their eyes and a willing smile as a sign of their friendliness.

It’s not just for the stunning nature and historical richness that so many people come to love Thailand. It’s often the hospitality, the friendly people, their fascinating culture and the contagious ‘Thai smile’ that makes visitors want to repeat their visit time and time again.

Shopping in Thailand

My holiday to Thailand was truly an amazing experience. Among the many countless other joys and wonders, Thailand was a great place to shop and Bangkok in particular, where the variety of retail outlets and goods is surprising. I could find genuine name-brand products on sale in department stores for half as much as back home. Even more there are bargains in more down-to-earth places in form of open market stalls that leave you awestruck.

With the excellent exchange rates, and amazing discounts, I could find everything that I wanted and that too at exceptional prices. From sophisticated air-conditioned shopping malls to sweaty markets under canvas, to roadside vendors. There’s so much, that one can literally shop till one drops. Thailand is recognized as one of the world’s leading gems and jewelry centers and I shopped for some great collection of jewelry. Bangkok’s Chinatown or the nearby Ban Mo Jewelry Street should be checked out for exquisite jewelry.

Bangkok is the capital of shopping malls, open - air markets, road - side vendors, charming side street antique shops and art galleries. And best of all, Thai handicrafts, the most famous of which is Thai silk. Markets sprawl the streets, even the rivers, of every town in Thailand, so I was never far away from a good buy. A visit to the floating market at Damnoen Saduak, just outside of Bangkok was an unusual experience and I returned with designer clothes, jewelry, pirated DVDs and CDs to tacky, but essential, souvenirs.

It was really obvious now why Thailand is famous as being a great destination for the serious shopper. Whatever you are looking for, there’s bound to be an outlet in Thailand.
