media Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have never lived over the dark side but often hear people saying that everything is cheaper. Food, Drinks, bars, etc But what about other stuff? I need some new garden furniture, The prices in South Pattaya can be very high, do you think that better deals are available on the dark side?

WitawatWatawit Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Most of the retail outlets for that kind of thing are over on the other side - apart from Chic Republic and Decco (if they have that kind of thing). Not sure about Soi Siam, but elsewhere it seems there is only the occasional small place that might have the odd item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakatee Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 For the above, Index Living Mall probably has the best prices around here (small selection though). 1 such shop as far as I know on dark side: between Banglamung and Rong Po turn under the bridge on the way to Rayong, a few hundred meters further at left hand side ... nice stuff but pricey.

peterrabbit Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 If you want stuff like furniture / cars etc cheaper you have to get out of Pattaya to say Rayong or Si Racha or Chonburi. Prices in the Pattaya area are inflated (even by the National stores) for the falang customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Generally speaking, I think prices for food, vegetables, fruit, street meals and apartment rental are cheaper on the Darkside. I know from my GF, who sells soup in Buakhao Market, she has shifted most of her ingredient purchases away from Wat Chai to the market at the railway crossing of Soi Noen Plub Waan because they are all cheaper. In some cases, the vegetables look better too. It was something I began noticing immediately and confirmed on later shopping trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Chok Chai has a very good selection of this type of furniture. Pretty good prices also. Right on Suk not too far from the old Index location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiBob Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) There is a shop on Thepprasit that has this type of furniture. They can order for you to. Good prices. I believe it is on the corner of Soi 8,on the right hand side if you are coming from Sukhumvit. Also, beware of the cheap Chinese crap.
