 I always visit Big C Supermarket (www.bigc.co.th) in Pratunam everytime I come to Bangkok.  I went there today to visit one of my favorite clothes' shop in Bangkok - X-ACT (www.xact.co.th). I am happy that everytime I come to Bangkok, this clothes' shop has promotional sale. Currently, clothes are on sale from 30-70% off.

I was able to buy 3 men's long sleeves at 70% off and 1 ladies' long sleeves at 60%. Truly a value for money whenever this shop is on promotional sale. The men's long sleeve was originally at THB 1,315 (USD 45) but I bought it at THB 395 (USD 14).

I like the brand, because the clothes that they sell has smaller sizes and fit me well like G2000.

Ladies Blazer sold at 90% off
Between Gaysorn and Big C Supermarket
Pratunam, Bangkok, Thailand
On my way to the hotel, I saw another shop on sale between Gaysorn and Big C Supermarket in Pratunam.

I was really surprised that items are on sale up to 90%.

Ladies blazers that are originally at THB 1,995 (USD 69) are now only THB 200 (USD 7).

To my excitement, I bought 5 for my wife which only cost me THB 997.50 (USD 35). Where in the world can you buy 5 nice blazers at only that price? Only in Bangkok.
