wonder if they will put the extra farang percentage price on them to make even more profit, better off to buy outside the airports where they dont rip farangs off.

Another useless store, I will have to bypass on the way to the gate...

Thailand's airports are not really much of a bargain.  Have better luck in Hong Kong, Singapore, KL, Taipei and Beijing.  Never look at anything while waiting for a flight.

Some of those OTOP products are quite okay, but I seldom see people buying much of that stuff. Do they really need to open 28 more shops nationwide?
