Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2009
|
Department stores, hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions nationwide are participating in Thailand’s annual “Amazing Thailand Grand Sale” now underway. Visitors and residents are getting great bargains right now. Most major name department stores and shopping malls are offering discounts of between 10 to 70% during this nationwide promotion.
Fortunately, most of Bangkok’s major shopping malls and stores are located close to the Skytrain or Metro underground system making it very convenient to hop from one mall to the next.
For convenience while shopping in Bangkok, both the Skytrain and the Metro offer day use stored-value cards for visitors to make it even more convenient to use the two mass transit systems. Buy them at windows inside the stations. Bangkok’s main shopping districts are along Ploenchit and Sukhumvit roads.
Many of the department stores have a direct bridge linking them to Skytrain stations. Just a short walk from the Skytrain stations visitors discover some pretty impressive shopping plazas like Siam Discovery Centre, Siam Centre, Central World Plaza, Erawan Bangkok, Amarin Plaza, Gaysorn, Central Chidlom, The Emporium and The Mall Department Store in Bangkok.
Discounts are also available in King Power duty free shops, both at Suvarnabhumi Airport and downtown locations, but be careful shopping there.
The Amazing Thailand Grand Sale also embraces a variety of destinations beyond Bangkok such as Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket and Samui Island.
In Pattaya go to Central Festival Pattaya Beach or Royal Garden Plaza. Also, Carrefour and the two Big C mega stores and Power Buy electronics stores offer special discounts.
All major five gay-friendly cities there are even discount deals on luxury treatments at spas, a round of golf at a selection of courses, travel packages and even medical check-ups at world-class hospitals.
Grand Sale prizes are offered in conjunction with the campaign sponsor, Visa Card, and include bargain holiday packages to premier destinations such as Phuket and Samui. See details at the stores.
