Upscale shopping in Hua Hin

Post by LastResort »

Hi,

Are there upscale shopping areas in Hua Hin?
As in places to buy (Real!) Swiss Watches, Brand clothing, etc...

How do the prices compare to the US/Europe?

Go to the Market Village mall. Items manufactured outside Thailand are more expensive here than in the US. The airport in Bangkok has a massive duty free area. Maybe cheaper than US. You would need to compare prices on the Internet.
I really like this forum because there are no personal attacks. All the members contribute in a positive way to my posts.

The short answer to your question is NO. For upscale shopping go to Bangkok. Siam Paragon is a good option.

Example: I was surprised a couple of years ago when I found the Galaxy Note 10.1 cheaper at swampy duty free than I could get it retail in Bangkok. I save around 1000 Baht.

Yeah, The duty-free in BKK is great, though last time I was there prices weren't so low...

As I have almost two weeks in HH, I'll prbably visit every shop in the village.
