Thai Fashion: trendy, creative and affordable. If you could be like Ola

"Bangkok has developed into one of the best and popular shopping locations in Asia, and with good reason. Prices are low and the range and variety is pretty amazing - trendy clothes, silks, gemstones, tailor-made clothes and traditional handicrafts are all highlights of Bangkok shopping." ~ words of Ola who has discovered where and how to shop wise in Bangkok



















My fave among these dressess is that of the second photo. I love its pattern and color. And guess what? This dress is amazingly cheap, only 5obaht [$1.52]. Ola got it from Indra Regent Hotel at Pratunam, Bangkok. Although most products at Indra are a little bit higher in price because most shoppers there are tourists, you can still get surprisingly cheap but quality and trendy dresses and other fashion accesories if you are really lucky.

The rest of the dresses are in the range 200-450baht [$6-13.7] and mostly, she got them from Platinum Plaza also at Pratunam. She recommends more this shopping mall because aside from its lower prices and maddening variety of fashion products, if you are one who loves to explore and is patient, you would discover even greater affordable boutiques.



Big bro Mike has a say of his sister's finds. "Just like wool, cotton, silk etc. in the fashion industry, have always been favored all the time, its refined and elegant style of popular fashionable tide of people’s affection. Fashion in the city of angels in the land of smile is roughly akin to the fashion avenue in Asia."

What else can I say?
