Mid-Year Sale Campaign at Central

Soi Langsuan is considered one of the upscale roads in Bangkok. It makes sense that you’ll find the Centre Point Hotel: Chidlom along this road. When you stay here, you’ll be in the hub for shopping and fashion. If this is your main reason for visiting Bangkok, then the best time to visit is during the Summer. Every year, retailers around Bangkok kickoff their mid-year sale campaigns. This massive sale event lasts all season and is the best time to shop in Bangkok.

If you’re staying in the Centre Point Hotel: Chidlom, you don’t have to venture too far to find what many people would call the best shopping destinations in all of Thailand. You’re be right in the neighborhood with the largest shopping centers in the country. Central World, Central Chidlom, and Central Embassy represent a stretch of giant shopping centers located just minutes away from the hotel whether you’re traveling by car or on foot. Travel north along Soi Langsuan road and you’ll run right into the gallery of shopping malls.

While you can always shop great deals at either of these centers all year long, the Summer season specials are especially attractive. Tourists and locals prepare for the annual announcement of specials from many of the stores that you’ll find in either venue. You can easily find deals for more than 50% off retail price and often times the discounts can be even larger. The stores that you find in Central World, Central Embassy, and around Central Chidlom are both local Thai brands and even internationally recognized brands. There are deals to be found for either store. Each store has their own unique deals and time frame for their promotions so it’s best to keep an eye out for their individual announcements to be the first to know about your favorite stores.

This mid-year sale campaign is the perfect time to shop. Tourists to Bangkok have an even bigger incentive to visit Bangkok and take advantage of the massive deals. All across Thailand, there is a special tax system called VAT. Tourists who buy goods (and services) in Thailand may qualify for getting a VAT tax refund. This occurs when you spend a certain amount of money while in Thailand on eligible purchases. There is no need to made guesses about whether your purchases qualify for a refund. Stores encourage foreign shoppers to make purchases by advertising within their stores that they provide VAT refunds. These refunds are claimed upon departure from Thailand. There are different requirements and restrictions to getting a refund so be sure to ask a sales assistant for clarity.

Shopping in Bangkok during the Summer means that not only will you find amazing deals but you’ll also be getting money back. This is a great combination for those interested in buying lots of items or luxury goods. Staying at the Centre Point Hotel Chidlom means that you’ll have plenty of time to browse for the best deals during your time in Bangkok. You’ll be a short distance away from the best shopping destinations in Bangkok.
