Huge markup on imported foods. Why?

[rmicheald]

My friend is going to a hairstyling competition in Bangkok and needs to rent a European / American Style Wedding dress. Anyone know somewhere CHEAP? The thieves at Tesco wanted 8,000 baht which is way too much for her.

Thanks in Advance

Maybe check with one of the many wedding organizers. I don't know where their offices is as I'm not in the market, but they often have a stand on the ground floor of Tukcom.

^and there's one in Carrefour every weekend.

But it sounds like that's what he may have found in Tesco's.

There's a dress shop across from Carrefour on P.Klang. My wife bought there for a wedding we went to last year. Very reasonable.
