The best word in Bangkok is “shopping paradise”, which is home to many international luxury brands, popular fashion apparel and a wealth of local Southeast Asian products. The difference between Bangkok and other big cities lies in the obvious price advantage. The bargaining exchange rate plus the discount of perennial Sale makes Bangkok a must-see destination for tourists.
Bangkok's shopping hub is mainly located in the Siam Square, where there are not only large shopping malls, but also a large-scale Big C supermarket, as well as a duty-free shop for tourists, so that tourists do not have to endure the rush of airport shopping. Buy one with peace of mind.

What is worth buying?
Trend brand clothing
The price of the popular trend brand in Bangkok is cheaper than that in China. Especially the price of Lee and Levis jeans is the most cost-effective. A pair of jeans is equivalent to RMB two or three hundred yuan, which is equivalent to 50% of domestic sales. Wacoal, Triumph, and ELLE's women's underwear and swimwear are also favored for their value. Some brand prices are not much different from those in China, but the richer styles and brands that are not common in China can easily help you avoid the shackles.
Many local Thai brands are also the focus of tourists considering in Bangkok. Jaspal, known as Zara in Thailand, Greyhound in the street, Sretsis in the socialite, and FlyNow in the international fan, all have a fan in China.
Luxury
As the most developed city in Thailand, Bangkok brings together many of the world's top luxury brands. Although the styles in the stores are mostly based, the price is very cost-effective throughout Asia. If you want to start with one or two luxury items, you can consider starting in Bangkok!
Choose three locations for luxury goods:
Siam Business Circle Siam
There are three major shopping malls in downtown Bangkok: Siam Paragon, Central Chidlom, and Central Embassy. Home-made luxury items such as BVLGARI, LV, Channel, Prada, etc. are all found here. The advantage of these malls is that there are more luxury brands and new models.
King Power Duty Free Shop King Power
Duty-free shops in downtown Bangkok, visitors can enjoy tax-free benefits with their passports. Not only can you buy luxury brands such as Cartier and Burburry, but also Thailand's must-have cosmetics such as SKII and L'Oreal.
Airport Duty Free Shop (Donman, Suvarnabhumi Airport)
Like the duty-free zones of major airports, the two major airports in Bangkok are also the focus of sweeping goods. Suvarnabhumi Airport is the international airport in Bangkok and is also a place where luxury goods and cosmetics are relatively complete. In contrast, because Don Mueang Airport mainly carries Thai domestic flights, the luxury brands of duty-free shops are not as rich as Suvarnabhumi.
Bangkok package
Most of the Bangkok bags are made of Thai local fabrics. Due to their soft texture and well-behaved characteristics, they are now popular in Thailand. In fact, the Bangkok package is a general term for the Thai bag of origin. There are also many brands selling Bangkok bags.

Other big names are also very cost-effective, such as SKII fairy water, Estee Lauder toner, Revlon lipstick, The body Shop body lotion.
Thailand's local skin care and cosmetics are also very popular. Especially in recent years, the popular Snail White snail cream, ele sleep mask and local make-up Beauty Buffet are best known. The biggest feature of Thai local brands is that they are affordable and easy to use. However, visitors should be reminded to buy in regular shopping malls, such as Watsons, Boots, etc., in order to avoid quality problems.
Where to buy cosmetics?
International high-end brands such as Dior and Channel have their own counters in major shopping malls, while Revlon, L'Oreal and some local brands can be bought in general supermarkets such as Watsons and Boots.
Boots, a UK-based supermarket, also has its own products, including the Cucumber Series, No.7 series and Cleansing Oil.

When buying latex pillows in Bangkok, you must look for local brands. These brands of latex pillows are produced locally in Thailand and are of guaranteed quality. Generally, the price of a pillow is 300-500 yuan.

Snack
The biggest feature of Thai snacks is the novelty of taste. Curry-flavored seaweed and wintery-yellow biscuits, all kinds of exaggerated Southeast Asian snacks have become the protagonists in the supermarket. The crisp and delicious little boss, Tao Kae Noi, the delicious and delicious big brother peanut (Koh-Kae), the variety of Glico Pocky, the pure taste of Thai dried fruit, the delicious and attractive Bin Tao Super-scented squid (Bento), MAMA brand instant noodles, etc., are the first choice for tourists to come to Thailand for “early taste”.

Thai silk is soft, colorful and has a special luster. It is a clothing fabric that Thai people love very much. It is also one of the main raw materials for ethnic costumes such as sand cages in Southeast Asia. The Thai silks sold in Bangkok range from fabrics to molded garments. In addition, it can be made into tourist souvenirs such as placemats, ties and scarves.

The price difference of Thai silk products is quite different. There are dozens of RMB of placemat silk scarves, and there are all kinds of sand cage skirts of four to five hundred yuan. Visitors can choose on demand.
