xminator Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Did a fair amount of shopping in Outlet Mall/Village last year. How did the low-season/not exactly high season effect this place? Empty shops or still offering quality brands? Is it actually value for money compared to buying in europe or one of the central pattaya stores?

LennyW Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If you mean the one next to Tesco on Sukhumvit, yes it is busy, the second phase is now open too at the back - access from Theprasit road. I say it is better value than royal garden, mikes etc. and in my opinion better quality goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Did a fair amount of shopping in Outlet Mall/Village last year....or the one just outside Pattaya on Hwy 3 heading North, 'Flyby' I think it's called. Was there in December - busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Is it actually value for money compared to buying in europe or one of the central pattaya stores? I went once to Quiksilver shop and found that everything was 10-20% more expensive than in upmarket Shibuya shopping area in Tokyo. More expensive than in Sydney too. And the goods are made in Thailand and then exported... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, for me it is the best place in Pattaya to buy what I need, (Men buy, Women shop!) prices are acceptable and its never crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It's still there but whether it's doing any business is another matter as it's always deserted when I go in there. Prices to me are the same as Mike's and the same stuff can be bought cheaper at Robinson's in Sri Racha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxxx Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 yeah major aussie surf brands are 2x more expensive here - mostly because of the exchange rate, but even at a good (best) rate they are still more expensive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was there also and saw that it was more expensive then nigeria and in boemerskonten they had more colors so now I don't buy in thailand anymore.
