Mid-Year Sale Campaign at Siam Paragon

Summertime is perhaps the best time to visit Bangkok. The weather is amazing, there is plenty to see and do in the city, and it’s also the best time to go shopping. Some may even argue that it’s worth taking a trip to Bangkok solely for the summertime shopping experience alone. During this season, shopping centers such as Siam Paragon are known for having some of the best deals in the entire world.

Siam Paragon is one of the most popular shopping centers in Bangkok. It’s located in the heart of the city. There are 10 floors of shops that you can choose from, most of which have summer time specials to take advantage of. Summer 2018 is no different and you an expect endless shopping. Be sure to get your shopping done early because people are expected to flock to Siam Paragon after discovering the kinds of deals that are offered. Some of the shops extending offers to customers include the Betrend, Lingerie Salon, Beauty Hall, and Power Mall. Special deals include heavily discounted items upwards of 80% off, shopping point perks for additional purchases in the future, special releases and much more.

While anyone can take advantage of the Siam Paragon promotions, tourists have an added incentive to make purchases throughout the season. Thailand, as a country, offers tourists special tax refunds called VAT. VAT is ‘value added tax’ which is a tax on goods and services purchased locally but used when you leave the country. Not all shops qualify to give VAT refunds. Eligible shops clearly display a sign in their windows. This process works by making your purchase then you’ll be given a tax refund form which can be submitted at the airport before you depart to get your appropriate refund back either in cash or as credit to your credit card. This VAT refund system was set in place to actually encourage foreign visitors to Thailand to spend money. There are various exceptions and requirements to the types of purchases to be able to get the VAT refund. If any confusion about if your purchase at Siam Paragon will qualify for the refund, most sales assistants will be glad to help.

Some travelers actually plan their entire vacation around being able to be in Bangkok at the time of these amazing deals. Not only do you get to save money, you’ll get additional money back by shopping. To top off the shopping experience, having your hotel nearby makes it easy to visit Siam Paragon multiple times during your trip in case you forgot some items on your first round of shopping. The best hotel to stay nearby Siam Paragon is at Centre Point Hotel: Pratunam. This is one of the top hotels in Bangkok and gives easy access to this mega shopping center. From the Centre Point property, simply head south towards the Rama I Road and you will reach Siam Paragon within 15mins. In case the summer heat is too much, you can either take a quick 10 minute tuk-tuk ride or walk to the nearby BTS skytrain station and the mall is one station away at Siam.
