Who Doesn’t Like a Sale?: Thailand’s Grand Sale
Edited by Jennifer L. Price
I, like a lot of other people (I assume), enjoy a good
sale. I head straight for clearance racks, follow the signs that say “50% off”,
and am more than willing to search through a bargain bin to find that oh, so
perfect deal that I can brag about to my friends.
 Traveling to Thailand between 1 June and 31 August might
just be my dream trip: the country will be hosting The Thailand Grand Sale,
Thailand's annual 2-month shopping extravaganza, which offers world-class
shopping, a diverse selection of quality products and services, special
discounts of 10 - 50 per centand promotional offers being extended by
participating department stores, shopping complexes and retail outlets along
designated ‘Shopping Streets’ in Bangkok and the popular tourist destinations of
Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket, Hat Yai as well as Nakhon Ratchasima.
 The
‘Shopping Streets’ provide a convenient opportunity to spot great buys in an
exotic range of unique crafts and cottage industry products, including
exquisitely hand-crafted decorative items for home and living and fashion
accessories, available in the traditional as well as contemporary design.
In addition to discount offers of up to 50 percent from
participating establishments, check out the special promotions offered by retail
and service outlets displaying the ‘Thailand Grand Sale’ decal. These include
free gifts, vouchers and lucky draw prizes. To take advantage of these
promotional offers, simply look out for the "Thailand Grand Sale" decal on
display at participating outlets and charge your purchases on a Visa card.
BANGKOK’S ‘SHOPPING STREET’
Along Sukhumvit Road from the Siam Discovery Center intersection to The Emporium
