Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?

A lot of clothes are made in Thailand so they will be very cheap. Counterfeit brands are also widely available for cheap. Big companies such as Nike have factories in Thailand and if you know the right people/places you can get authentic Nike gear for very cheap. Bangkok is actually a destination f...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?

The thing is that when you go to the street shop. And when the owner realizes that you are a foreigner. Then they are going to raise the price a bit. Also in such case you can see the prices are often inflated in some regions. So you have to find out alternative places. You can try the local e-comm...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?

Not completely sure about it, but a friend went to Thailand about 2 years ago, he was carrying Euros and apparently the money exchange was pretty good for shopping. Of course he didn't buy on boutiques or malls, I'm talking about local vendors, flea markets, home made merchandise. He ended up buyin...

Re: Fruit trip in Bangkok streets

I am a fruit lover, and what I love about Bangkok is it's just like Philippines seeing those fruit stalls. And yeah, there are free tastes too. But I am not for Durian. I don't know. It's not just about the smell actually. I don't find it that delicious. Perhaps it depends on someone's tastes. It w...

Re: Favourite beach in South East Asia

So now that South East Asia is surrounded by both Pacific and Indian ocean. I.m thinking there's plenty of beaches that people could go and have fun at. Anyone who has a favourite beach that he or she would recommend? The Philippines that is one of the countries in South East Asia, also boasts a lo...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?

I would think clothes would be reasonably priced in the region, but as someone mentioned, as a foreigner you might not be getting the best prices that are available for the garments. I think you would have to ask around to find shops that will give you a good deal regardless of your nationality. I ...

Re: Is tap water safe to drink in Thailand?

This is a big controversial statement. I think the safety levels depend on personal immunity. Some people fall ill by simple exposure to bacteria and germs. So for such people it is wise to opt for bottled water only. Unsafe tap water can immediately cause gastroenteritis and other stomach related ...
