0 1, Central World

One of the largest shopping malls in Bangkok, near the Four Faces Buddha, consists of three parts: Zen Department Store on the left, Isetan Department Store on the right and Central World in the middle. Because the central world is so big, it takes several hours to walk around. Therefore, Sister in suggests going shopping according to your own needs and preferences, which can save time and energy.

Suitable for the crowd: buy everything for eating, drinking and having fun, and the brands are high, medium and low. All brands are more international.

It is a form of Zen department store. You can buy not only traditional goods, but also many brands of Thai designers. Moreover, the most worth visiting is the oversized underwear area.

1. 1 Most stores. The Central World can pay Alipay. It is suggested to use Alipay as much as possible, and the exchange rate should be more cost-effective. But a few shops can only use cash, so prepare some cash.

Before 2.2 o'clock. To go shopping in Zen Buddhism, you can apply for a 1 tourist card at the customer service center. There are not only discounts on shopping, but also many discounts.

3.3 of the goods. Zen and Isetan can retire. The specialty store in the pedestrian street should recognize whether the store has a tax refund sign. After shopping, go to the customer service center for tax refund and stamp.

Terminal 2 1 has nine floors, and each floor is decorated according to the style of a city. Besides famous brands, Thai make-up and local Thai luggage brand LYN are also worth a visit.

4. Siam Center

Thailand's old shopping malls, where more than 50% of the shops are clothing stores of local Thai designers, with diverse styles and often avant-garde art exhibits. Recommend Q design play, located on the third floor of Siam Center, selling men's wear, which is a trend brand with Thai characteristics; The choice is a daily necessities store, located on the third floor of Siam Center.

Thailand wholesale market

When MBK 1985 opened, it was the largest shopping center in Asia and one of the recognized landmarks in Bangkok. After more than 30 years, MBK has become a unique wholesale market in Thailand, with many kinds, low prices and bargaining. Thai locals also like to go there. Compared with the luxury shopping malls nearby, MBK is really grounded, but when choosing, we should carefully compare the quality and workmanship.

Casa Pagoda Luca Coffee

After visiting Casata's branch in Shanghai, Sister In has been thinking about Casata in Bangkok. This shop in Bangkok combines coffee with a simple restaurant. The cement wall has a rough industrial style, and the brown decoration and light and shadow are very warm. In the aroma of signature Ma Lu tea and brunch, I want to take home warm lamps, pillows, aromatherapy, carpets and even handmade leather sofas from all over the world. Casata Home has branches in both Beijing and Shanghai, but the product selection and price in Bangkok are very advantageous. Even with the cost of international distribution.

Address: No.64 Xilongpan Road, Bangkok, 10500.

8. Papaya

Retro Expo

Papaya is a retro market that Sister in likes very much. I feel that they are the best scenery in urban legends. Papaya, the "Antique Museum", is known as the largest antique warehouse in the world. There are many old furniture and articles here. Even if you buy it blindly and put it at home, it will have a unique style. Even Hollywood directors will come here to rent props to create a sense of the times. In addition, papaya is also a good place to make movies, so you can choose and pose at will.

9、TheC

flea market

The camp has a feeling of being in an old European and American movie. Colorful abandoned planes are the coolest background for taking photos of online celebrities. Cuban classic cars that can be seen everywhere have been transformed into fashion shops, cloth shops, sunglasses shops or craft beer bars, where bands or vinyl record lovers often hold live concerts.

10, Zaduzha weekend market

The famous Zaduza weekend market is a must-see night market in Bangkok. It only opens on Saturday and Sunday. Sister IN likes to buy aromatherapy and shop there. It is said that the scale is larger than 65,438+00 football field, with about 65,438+05,000 booths, so it is particularly important to keep an eye on what you are interested in in advance, which can effectively save time.

Tax refund strategy

In Thailand, most stores charge 7% consumption tax (value-added tax) on behalf of Thai authorities regardless of shopping, catering or Spa, but tourists can apply for tax refund within 60 days after shopping (some department stores or shops provide tax refund registration service for tourists, and remember to bring their passports when spending).

: the object of tax refund application

1. Non-Thai foreign passengers and crew

2. Stay in Thailand for no more than 180 days.

3. Those who leave the country within 60 days after purchasing the goods and leave the country by air.

: conditions for applying for tax refund

1. Spend at the mall or shopping point marked' VAT refund for tourists'.

2. The same shopping mall/store spent more than 2,000 baht that day.

The total amount of goods purchased must exceed 5000 baht.

4. Leave Thailand through Thailand International Airport within 60 days from the date of shopping.

5. When shopping in a designated store, you must get and fill in the P.P. 10 VAT refund form, and the shopping receipt will be fixed on it!

6. All receipts and credit cards must be kept.

Page number (abbreviation of page number) P. 10 tax refund form

: tax refund method

1. Deal with it directly at the mall or department store on the same day. As long as you spend it in a shopping mall or department store marked with [VAT refund for tourists], there will be a total of 2,000 baht on that day. After you go through the formalities at the tax refund counter, you will get a refund immediately with the tax invoice and tax refund form.

When you leave Thailand, you can apply at the customs office for tax refund at the airport. If you spend money in some shops marked "VAT refund for tourists", you can't get a refund immediately. But as long as the cumulative consumption exceeds 5000 baht, you can keep the documents. You can apply for tax refund at the airport customs after returning home. The process is the same as the airport, but the location is different.

Airport tax refund process

1. Take all your luggage and go to the tax refund customs for tax refund;

2. After entering the tax refund customs office, take out the valuables purchased locally. It's best to put these things in a place where the suitcase is easy to take. If customs officers ask for inspection, they can also find it quickly;

After customs officials check and stamp their luggage, they can check in at the airline. Every store that buys more than 2,000 baht must fill out a tax refund form, which means you may have many tax refund forms in your hand. Make sure that each one is stamped by the customs!

4. After going through customs, just hand over the stamped documents, tax refund application form and passport to the tax refund counter;

5. If the tax amount is below 30,000 baht, you can get a cash refund immediately; If it exceeds the amount, it will be paid in a credit card account or cashier's check later. No matter how much the tax refund is, everyone will deduct the handling fee of 100 baht.

Alipay tax refund

Now there is a more convenient tax refund method, which is Alipay tax refund. Real-time arrival, the handling fee is less than cash tax refund. Real-time tax refund is not only fast, but also does not need time to exchange foreign exchange. The tax refund received in Alipay is directly RMB.
