Asia, many are associated with markets. Noisy, fragile, with fake bags and cheap panties-socks on the dollar per bag. Yes, there are many such places here. However, if you want to get into the real kingdom of Luxury, then you are here too, in Thailand. No wonder because many famous designers create special collections from time to time exclusively to the Asian market.
But, in my opinion, shopping in Bangkok is, first of all, chase the creative things of local fashion designers. Because prices they establish quite reasonable, and each batch of goods is unique in its own way: many things are created in a single copy.

So, here on weekends there are exit fairs of young fashion designers of Southeast Asia. Mostly all clothes - Hand Made. So in this case, be sure that the purchased upgrade really exists in a single copy.
