Probably worth visiting if you happen to be in Bangers at that time.

This is a wonderful show.

We visit every year.

The range of products is unimaginable, and the prices are very very good - even though last year I did find an item that was listed as US$5 (the lable was left over from the trade days), and remarked at US$35 for the public days. Whilst I didn't buy it, it was still very good value at US$35. For US$5, you needed to place an order for large quantity.

The product quality is also excellent, as the goods manufactured are targetted at the export market. Its good to see what Thailand is really capable of, in place of the usual crap that is offered for Sale in Thailand (even in the Dept Stores).

Take your own shopping trolley, suitcase or large bag - everyone does, or be prepared to queue to rent one. Public Days are very very busy. Be prepared to jossle a lot.
