The China Town of Yaowarat and the Indian area of Sampeng are famous for cheap and wholesale products. If you have a long list of presents shopping and a big house to decorate, these two places might serve you just right. However, you might have to go prepare as they are quite big and there are many shops to cover – some will be related and some might not offer what you are looking for.

Another thing that you should be reminded of is sometimes shops in these areas will not offer retail purchasing so you have to buy up to the standard they require which usually around a dozen or half a dozen.
