Only the most austere ascetics can resist shopping when in Thailand. Bangkok is renowned for its main shopping malls down town, offering an astounding variety of international and local brands. Towards the north of the city, and easily reached by skytrain or underground, is “Chatuchak Weekend Market”. It is possibly the largest market in the world, selling everything from household items to live, and sometimes endangered animals. The “Pratunam Market” downtown, is nearly totally specialised in fabrics and clothing. The night markets in the Silom area and on Khaosan Road are mainly tourist orientated, selling items such as T-shirts, handicrafts, counterfeit watches and sunglasses. In the vicinity of Bangkok one can find several visually stunning floating markets such as the one in Damnoen Saduak. The “Sunday Evening Walking Street Market”, held on Rachadamnoen road inside the old city, must be the shopping highlight of a visit to Chiang Mai up in northern Thailand. It attracts many locals as well as foreigners. The “Night Bazaar” is Chiang Mai’s more tourist orientated market, sprawling over several city blocks just east of the old city walls towards the river.

Real estate gurus’ have confirmed that prices for Phuket real estate costing more than 2 million baht will continue to rise despite the worldwide economic downturn trend. Associate Professor Manop Phongtat, the Director of the International Real Estate Association of Thailand said that the real estate business has a bright future in Phuket.

Although the consumer and investment sectors are still comparatively weak compared to previous years, Professor Manop sees the regrowth of tourism and strength of Thai exports as positive signs for Phuket real estate.

He said, “For Phuket, the condo business is going in a good direction and I believe investors will turn to this sector more in the future. As the value of land in Phuket is very high, housing estate investment will quickly become too expensive. Condominiums that are near to town or a business area of 2 million baht, will also go up as people are preferring to stay in condos that are convenient and near to their offices.”

Dr Pimonwan Mahujchariyawong, Assistant Managing Director of Kasikorn Research Center, recently performed an analysis of the Thai economy and found that the steady regrowth of the world economy has resulted in Thailand being able to export more products, including rice, rubber and precious stones. Thailand is the world’s largest exporter of canned pineapple and canned tuna.

Although this year Thai exports are still running at a deficit, experts predict that it will quickly recover and many believe that tourism will be one of the contributing factors.

“Phuket tourism will recover faster than other places, as Phuket is one of only a few global destinations where more flights are being introduced. Many tourists are from Europe and therefore are still spending large amounts because they know that what they spend in Phuket  or Thailand will be significantly less than they if they were to holiday in Europe.” Dr Pimonwan said.

The latest report from TAT Thailand said that tourism in Thailand has already recovered by 30-40 %. For easy payment through payday loan
