LETS GO
SHOPPING!

This is just a guide to
prices only, some of the prices are what we have paid and some
are from other peoples reports. So if you pay more or less for
something, it doesn't matter.
PAY WHAT YOU ARE HAPPY WITH!
Just remember, sometimes you are squabbling over cents, is it
really worth doing that.
The best way to get a
bargain is never lose your cool or raise your voice, always
barter with a smile and a few words of Thai will not go astray
and your attempts will be much appreciated.
There is also a link to a much bigger
current Price Guide which is printer friendly at the bottom of
this page, plus a slide show with lots of photos of various
shopping and the prices paid for them.

See lots of photos of
handbags, wallets etc in a slideshow at end of page.
(I never pay more than 1500 baht for a good quality copy bag
- though if I wanted a certain bag bad enough and it was a bit
more then of course I would definitely be tempted!).

PHUKET AIRPORT DUTY FREE
PERFUME
Angel 50ml bottle 2560 baht
Angel for men 50ml bottle 1840 baht
Gucci 50ml bottle 2590 baht
Treson 100ml bottle 2100 baht
I priced all these perfumes before we left
Australia and they were cheaper at Phuket Airport Duty Free.
However since we have returned home I have discovered the Perfume Empire
and the Perfume Clearance Centre,
now I will always check their prices first as most of their
perfumes are much cheaper than Duty Free.
 You can order online and they
also have shops in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
CIGARETTES
Benson & Hedges, Mild 7, Triple 5, London,
all 550 baht per carton of 200(Cigarettes in local shops are approximately
70 - 100 baht a packet and from street vendors about 50 - 60
baht a packet of 20)
BUYING ALCOHOL
You
can buy alcohol at most of the little local supermarkets and all
of the major ones.
There is also a good distributor up
Rat-U-Thit Rd past the Patong Merlin.
Its on the other
side of the road, look for the huge sign on top of a building on
the corner advertising a cosmetic surgeon, go down that lane and
its down a bit on the right.
Bottles of Bacardi were about
100 baht cheaper here than other places and they have a big
selection of wine and beers.
Its a great place to buy in
bulk if you are staying for awhile.
Prices are also very good in supermarkets,
7/11 shops and another very good one for spirits and wine is the
Deli Supermarket on Rat-U-Thit Rd - up past Nickys Handlebar.
I have
recently priced lots of various wines, beers and spirits from a
couple of different places in Phuket, so click on the link below
for a printer friendly list of alcohol prices.
