you didnt indicate where you would be spending most of your time.

if in bangkok

MBK centre has many copies of just about anything you can think of

across the road is the Siam Paragon which has many floors of original products

or try centralworld just down the road by Sky train

enjoy your shopping

just about everything in MBK is fake

try centralworld can't go wrong there if that is what you are looking for

in pattaya there is a new shopping mall cannot remember the name I dropped in there last November

it is full of originals too

With the GB Pound Sterling approaching an all time low against the Thai Baht since it was devalued in 1997, there is currently precious little value in us Brits purchasing original items of clothing in Thailand.
Much better value on home turf these days.

Pen Tire is spot on.

You'd get much better deal on designer gear and sunglasses, trawling through places like TKMaxx in the UK!

If you still want to indulge yourself into shopping bonanza you can start in MBK walk over Siam Square BTS walkway and check Siam Square shopping centers (Siam Discovery, Siam Paragon), continue walking on shopping walkway from Siam Square to Chit Lom; extremely recommendable during rain season, last year it was my only daylight open air walk since it poured rain almost 24/7 every day. You’ll find CentralWorld, Gaysorn and few other smaller shopping malls.

All in all prices can be ok :angel: excluding crappy GBP/EUR rate :loco: . But on the other hand it is a great way to spend the day in Bangkok between non P4P population and food in Food Courts is great.
