0 1, Central World
One of the largest shopping centers in Bangkok, near the Four Faces Buddha, consists of three parts: the Zen department store on the left, the Isetan department store on the right and the middle world. Because the central world is too big, it takes several hours to go around. Therefore, Sister in suggested shopping according to their own needs and preferences, which could save time and energy.

Matters needing attention
Most stores are in 1. 1. The Central World can pay Alipay. It is recommended 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 in the customer service center. Not only are there discounts on shopping, but there are 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.

4. Siam Center
Thailand's old shopping malls, where more than 50% of the shops are clothing stores of local Thai designers, have diverse styles and often have 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.

After more than 30 years of development, MBK has become a unique wholesale market in Thailand, with a wide variety, low price and bargaining. Thai locals also like to go there.

7. 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 concrete wall has a rough industrial style, and the brown decoration and light and shadow are very warm. In the aroma of signature Malu 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 Beijing and Shanghai, but the product selection and price in Bangkok are very advantageous. Even if the cost of international distribution is added, it should be included.
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 leave 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 shoot movies, where you can choose and pose at will.
In Papaya, Elaine Bell.
Address: No.55/2, SoiLatPharo Road, Bangkok | Wangtonglang, 103 10.

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 enthusiasts often hold live performances.

10, get together and get together in the weekend market.

It is said that the scale is larger than 65,438+00 football fields, and there are about 65,438+05,000 booths, so it is particularly important to pay attention to what you are interested in 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 the Thai authorities, but tourists can apply for tax refund within 60 days after shopping (some department stores or shops provide tax refund registration services 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 plane.
Conditions for applying for tax refund
1. Spend at the shopping center or shopping point marked "VAT refund for tourists".
2. The same shopping center/store spent more than 2000 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.

Page (page abbreviation) 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 money in a shopping center or department store marked [VAT refund for tourists], you will have a total of 2,000 baht that day. After you go through the formalities at the tax refund counter, you will get the tax 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 a tax refund at the airport customs when you return 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 an 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 2000 baht must fill out a tax refund form, which means that 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, you only need to 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 later by credit card account or cashier's check. No matter how much the tax refund is, everyone has to deduct the handling fee of 100 baht.
Alipay tax refund
Now there is a more convenient way of tax refund, that 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.
