(cheap shopping)

All around Pattaya you will find markets and some arcades which contain a lot of small shops that sell almost every thing from bikinis to shirts, shoes to battery or towels and dolls and everything at very low prices. This does not mean that bargaining is not necessary but you have to understand that there is a limit in getting the prices down. Most of the time when the price is advertised, it is a price to attract Thai customers and it is already at it's lowest and it is almost impossible for the merchant to get it more down.

The largest of all these market is the Made in Thailand center on 2nd Road between soi 9 and 10. Another one is the South Pattaya Daily Market that we present to you on next page.

The fact that Pattaya has become the commercial center of Eastern Sea Board - a special economic zone where near 2 millions peoples are living and working - it has helped keep the prices down for almost all goods (one exception the prices of food product).

To make it easy for you to compare, I would say that the men slips that you see on the picture in the middle are sold 90 to 150 baht in the Shopping Centers when they are well packed and under known labels like "Hom".
