Buying Products In Thailand

Featured Replies

I have been living here for 4 years and at least 75% of the time that I buy something (clothes, electronics, appliances etc) it is junk. Usually the most expensive stuff is the worst. Let's take clothes 1st: in the past I have bought items only to find that it is defective or something breaks in a short time.

electronics: digital camera 12300 baht. get it home and find out it's junk made who knows where. pics grainier that imaginable. what you going to do? take it back for your cash? LOL. you pay out cash in Thailand for anything and that cash is gone. everyone has no refund policy.

Mobile Phone: 12K baht=piece of junk. battery goes dead after half day. buy a new battery same same, buy a 3rd, same. 12 more K in toilet

dvd player: 5K baht, this is best of lot, it works still after a year of minimal use but it has always made a loud humming noise like it will explode at any time

toaster: fried after 3 weeks

computer: nothing but probs but works

mobile phone #2: totally defective, had to take back for exchange in 3 weeks. got raped for 2K in the exchange and then some

These items are bought at tesco, carre four, mbk, big c, robinson to name a few. I see a pattern here. for some odd reason, stuff sold here is garbage and I need to buy whatever I can in other countries. Now I am not saying that all of this stuff is made here. In fact, I have a suitcase bought in USA that is rock solid top quality made in thailand. I guess they ship out the good stuff and sell the trash here. beware when you reach into that wallet

probably time for you to go home..... :o
