Some people were riding down an escalator in Siam Discovery

While walking through Siam Paragon, I came to the end of the building. I thought I was done with the shopping mall, but then I saw another shopping mall outside the building. Next to Siam Paragon, there is another mall called Siam Discovery. There are many shopping malls in the center of Bangkok.

Siam Discovery also has many brand-name stores. Many of them are foreign brands, and many of them are familiar brands in Japan. Walking around looking at the products, I felt as if I was in a Japanese shopping mall. The only difference is that the prices are listed in Thai baht and the staff does not speak Japanese.

Looking at the products stimulated my appetite. My image was that it would be cheaper to buy the same item in Bangkok than in Tokyo, but that may be a thing of the past. When I checked the prices of the items on display in Japan, I found that the prices were surprisingly the same. For some items, it was even cheaper to buy them in Japan. Prices in Bangkok are not much different from those in Tokyo.
