Designer Clothes

[konangrit]

OK, I know Thailand is full of fake clothes, but as someone who doesn't know Bangkok too well, are there shops where i can buy originals?

ie Armani, Ralph Lauren, Moschino and hopefully some of the more obscure makes.

If so where to? Would like to know whether to stock up before I come or if I can get out there.

if you want the real mcoy my friend then i would suggest you head for the shopping molls, siam square is but one option... they can usually supply the real thing...

i personally wouldn't be seen dead in the tat that armani, ralph lauren & moschino produce.. i'm more of an anne summers man myself

The Emporium Mall is probably a good place to start off with.

Be V.Carefull, some of the less exclusive malls that look cosha will have shops in them selling top quality fakes but passing them off as original I remember paying USD$200 for some sunglasses in singapore that turned out to be fake, this was from somewhere of similar standing to Emporium

Yer pretty much going to pay the same here as you would in the UK anywayz, + theres not the same selection in thailand.

Deffintely some bargins to be had though, in pattaya a month or so ago there was a cerruti jeans promotional stand in one of the malls for some reason, they were selling genuine polos/underware/etc @ less than 20% of the UK highstreet price.

How about Gaysorn Plaza and Penninsular Plaza?

It's reliable i think.

the prices are the same as in the west...

Add CENTRAL department store. They as well advertise regular sales on the real thing.

(At least my mailbox, both computer and slow mail is always full with it)
