Thailand / Shopping / Clothes and Cloths

For most items of dress including footwear, Thailand in general and Bangkok in particular offers great shopping bargains. The savings in buying clothes in Thailand when compared to what they would cost in Europe or the US pay part of the Thailand holiday.

Tthe most convenient places to buy clothes in Thailand are Bangkok's department stores. Of course, one may find even cheaper clothes in markets, for example at the Pratunam Market near the Indra Hotel or at Phrakanong down at Soi 71 Sukhumvit Rd.

However, the department stores are best prepared for foreign visitors who usually require larger sizes than the locals (large sizes are difficult to find in shopping areas which cater exclusively to Thais). Furthermore, the department stores are a one-stop shopping place where one can buy clothes, footwear, toiletries and other items for daily needs, and it's usually a pleasant air-conditioned place where much of the staff speaks at least some English - enough for the talk that is needed to buy items of the kind to be found there.

Those whose taste for exclusive items cannot be satisfied by the department stores will find hundreds of boutiques and specialty shops around Siam Square.
