edwardandtubs Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I know I'm setting myself up for ridicule with this question but I'm just wondering how the Midnight Sales in department stores actually work. Do they literally take place at midnight or what? Are there bargains galore or is it a typical Thai retail gimmick? The advert for the current Paragon Midnight Sale is all in Thai so can't work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabaaaa Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Probably "Thai time" ie all the time anytime sometime.......take your pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 My best guess is that it takes place when they feel like it so just show up at any time, it would however be a serious mistake to show up at a Thai shopping mall at midnight expecting a sale to begin, it will be closed and everyone will have gone home.

gotlost Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have noticed that Thai's love to take western terminology that sounds hip to them and use it in their marketing programs with no understanding to its western meaning. They and the potential Thai market just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 They sell midnight. Itself, at the very stroke of the instant of it. They also sell garages. And yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Midnight sale is sale programs take place between 9.00 pm until midnight. Midnight sales are similar to other sale programs, such as super great sale, but the sale time is limited and take place at night. Sale at midnight hosted in weekends or during holiday. Simple, eh?

simcity Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Night sale. Not wanted to sound cynical, they back store all the good items, and bring left over stock! I rarely find a good / genuine sale with the department store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
