Shopping-Export Stuffs

Hi all,

I accidentally found a really cool shop at the ';big C'; opposite to Zen Central. This shop sells ';export'; brands, such as Abercrombie and Fitch, Levi etc. The merchandise is all very nice and the price is very nice too. Just my kind of thing.

Therefore, I am wondering where else I can find such similar shop(s) in BKK. Many thanks in advance.

If you mean brand-name stuff that is ';made in Thailand for export'; or perhaps ';fell off the back of a truck'; ;-), look in MBK, 3rd floor at the far end if you come in from the BTS station entrance. There%26#39;s an area with all kinds of silly tourist t-shirts and souvenirs, and behind that an area of numbered aisles and sois called ';Image.'; It looks like a typical big covered market place or a trade fare, with individual stands.

A lot of real brand name products are manufactured in Thailand (not everything is a fake), so some well know names can be much cheaper here. A classic example is Pierre Cardin, even in department stores its cheaper than in Europe.

it fell off the back of an indonesian sweatshop. most fake clothing here is from indonesia nad china.

If you%26#39;re exporting for %26#39;own use%26#39; you%26#39;ll probably be OK. But if you%26#39;re exporting more than one of each item, you may well be srutinized by customs %26amp; excise in your own country.

These are not genuine products and as such, should you be seen to be exporting to sell for profit you could find yourself in trouble.

Hi;

The USA customs are allowed 1,000 usd. tourist import merchandises without tax. But, they are usually don%26#39;t check the stuff closely such as clothes and gifts . So, the Thailand shopping stuff , I can bring even above 1,000 usd . worth and that is not that much since the Usd. starts to slide.

My only concern is the airline luggages weight .

Platinum Mall, Pratunam Center and the whole Pratunam Market is full of ';fake'; brand name clothes - you can shop till u drop there !

Hi;

I ONLY like to shop at the MBK mall. The reasons are many , mainly easy to access via BTS stadium station, many eating places on the 4th. floor . And the merchandises are at the On Sales prices comparing with USA. malls . Also, You don%26#39;t have to pay the sales tax @ 8% on the average in California .

There you have it , Win Win deals in MBK. Bangkok is the Mecca for shoppers in the SE.Asia

Have you been to Platinum/Pratunam Malls? They will do you prices at wholesale if you buy in numbers. MBK is quite pricey in comparison

Hi;

The MBK has more quality merchandises and also you can shop electronic items . I don%26#39;t mind to pay extra for shopping at this MBK. as I already save 50% when compare to USA. The shop owners must make some money to pay the rent at this MBK mall. I go there everyday for eating when travel to Bangkok .

Thanks all for the responses. I am not looking to buy ';export'; stuffs for profit. It is for my own use.

I have been to Pratunam but did not see much. I have no idea where platinum mall is.
