Thrift Stores

Featured Replies

Are there any thrift stores in Bangkok, Sukhumvit area?

Thanks

Pawn shops would be the only thing I can think of, other than people selling used boots and stuff on the steps to banks after hours.

Not much of a market for 2nd hand stuff here from what I can see. I bought a 2nd hand Sony Home Entertainment system off an expat once - it took the wife 3 months to get over the fact that it wasn't new. :lol:  I won't tell you her reaction to my contemplating purchasing a 'pre-lived-in' condominium - spooky that was. 

The second hand shops charge as much as buying new but don't give a warranty.

Cash converters are in some Carrefour malls.

If it's clothes you want the markets are cheap enough.

the night market in china town is as close as the thais have to a swapmeet or flee market.

LOL! Yes, I have heard that the Thai people don't like to buy second hand. I am a thrift store junky, love getting stuff at a steal...

Thanks for the replies. I was just looking for an easy option... I have two little ones, so doing the markets with them is a nightmare.
