Thailand
offers a wonderful experience for the ardent shopper, with a tremendous variety
of goods on offer. You can shop for designer goods in the Malls, or browse for
handicrafts and knick-knacks in the many markets. There is something for everyone,
no matter how deep or shallow your pocket may be.Department stores open around 10:00 am and do not close until 9:00 pm. Markets vary in their timing with produce markets opening before dawn, more general markets open during daylight hours, but in many areas there are Night Markets where you can sit in the open and eat before browsing the stalls.
Favorite purchases in Thailand include Thai silk and cottons, modern and traditional jewellery featuring precious gemstones, semi-precious gemstones, silverware, nielloware, pewterware, ceramics, celadon, woodcarvings, paintings, and clothing.
