Levis Dockers and songkran shirts (my favorite shirts) are 150 baht in Bangkok (if you can even find the songkran shirts back home).  I don't know if the Dockers are used, fake or factory rejects, but they look fine to me.  I've bought a bunch of them.  2 pairs are cheaper than a Mickey-D's burger at the airport.

Yes Lazada and TEMU look cheaper than the shops ,

I wonder if ALI Express are still around?

But of course the downside to buying online is the wait for them to arrive 

But yes looks like online is cheaper than the markets and shops at Tuk com

 

I buy things i need. I dont buy things just because they are cheap.

 

What do you need?

 

Mr DIY and local markets are the cheapest places.

 

Pattaya tourist markets would be double the price of Udon.

None sharp bottle opener 20 baht, be 100 baht in west

 

Scissors with round head for plane travel 35 baht, 150 baht in west.

 

Small travel bag 250 baht, 600 baht in west

 

Small Thai woman 1000 baht, large white woman half a house

 

Good bargains

Shipping the house and wife back to Australia would be somewhat costly I would've thought.

Plenty of larger sized shirt a Rong Kluea for under 100b.

 

Nice, pleasant 2 hr drive from Pattaya, head out early doors... do some shopping, grab a meal and be back home by lunch time.
