Have you tried ebay?

I also hear a lot of people buy and sell stuff over instagram.

I just wanted to say don`t give up on the street sales just find another way. Some of the markets maybe or talk to some of local mom and pop stores and see if you can put product on their shelves. Don`t give in find a different way.

I agree with the above.

Don't give up on street sales but, of course, don't go into the bar areas. What you generally see in the bar areas are our (westerners) low class bottom dwellers (not all though).

Don't take it to heart... that's just how they are. Good luck in your venture.

Pacman, im sorry you had to experience such a rude, vulgar and disrespectful foreigner. Most of us are not like that, at all.
TingTongJohn's post sounds like it has a couple of good options that you might like to explore.
I wish you both good fortune in your venture.

Hi Pleng,

I haven't yet tried on the Ebay. Well, I just realized now that Ebay could be a good try as well.

Thank you for your recommend.

Thank you. I and my girlfriend won't give up on what we have invested, even it's not such a big business, but it was good to start doing something as a part time works to earn some extra money. :cheers:

I personally wouldn't give up on the bar area because of just one idiot. IMO with your product, you should be targeting bar girls as opposed to Farangs. I've watched them over many years, and they are good spenders if the product is right.

^^ and maybe some of the girls would make some kind of a franchise and sell for you if the product is
good and then things start rolling as they all know someone who know a girl in the next bar and so on.
Good luck and head up I'm sure you will succeed if you have a good product and work hard.

Thank you for your comment to support me and my girlfriend. I won't give up on this small business for sure.

I also passed your comment to my girlfriend and now she could smile a bit wider. ^____________^

Pacman, so sorry to hear you met such a disgusting, disrespectful individual. His behaviour is offensive to both Thais and Farangs

You might consider trying to sell your perfume on the beach, maybe not right now during low season. But in the busier months, when us girls are on holiday, we like to spend money - beach wraps, sunglasses etc.

Good Luck with your business idea. Don't let the a**holes get you down!

Thank you for your nice comment. It's really make sense to sell my perfume on the beach, by the way would you like to buy one? I'm kidding. :cheers:

Pacman. I have been to the Bintabat area several times, and I have seen a few people selling
their products near there on a side street, as well as a few along the bar areas.
The jerk you and your girlfriend met, was just that a real Jerk! I have seen them all over Thailand
from Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Udon Thani, Phuket town and the beaches in Phuket, and in Hua Hin
Cha AM, and Hat Yai areas. These Jerks come from Europe, Australia, USA and even some from
my country Canada. Don't give up on selling your products locally, just be ready to meet more jerks if your are around the bar areas. When people drink a bit too much, they lose their manners, couth,
respectability, and decency. There are even people who are like this when they are completely sober.
Hopefully I never become one of them
