LETS GO SHOPPING!

Dolce & Gabbana Handbag - 1400baht Small Chloe bag - 1000 baht

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.

Angel 50ml bottle 2560 baht
Angel for men 50ml bottle 1840 baht
Gucci  50ml bottle  2590 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.

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)

Nile Shox - 1500baht  Nile Shox - 1500baht       

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.
