my wife wanted to buy stuff from Thailand and bring it over here. While on our trip to Thailand she bought some shoes that she can only get over there. Her coworkers wanted a pair just like them. If I had the money I'd start a J-List type company, only carrying Thai products. A lot of stuff is made in Thailand for really cheap. Not all of it reaches the US.

[link|http://www.bigc.co.th/en/index.asp|Big C] is a place in Thailand that is like a combination of a Super Wal-Mart and a big Flea Market and Mall. They own a large mall like building, one part of it is a Big C store, and the other part they rent out to people that run their own tables to sell stuff, and resteraunts, a movie theatre, and more. It was my favorite place to visit in Thailand, everything was cheap there.

anyone can set up a web store these days. The hard part is getting the money, and then going over to Thailand or having people over there do the buying and the shipping for me. Or just buy large shipments and have it shipped here and then add in the cost of the shipping to the items.

The thing about Thailand is that there could be two factories right next to each other, they employ the same type of people, pay the same salary range, use the same type of management and machines, and produce the same product that will get sold on the same shelf. Just that one product will cost more than the other product despite being identical. Also Thailand products have no warrantes and if it breaks they won't replace it.

The thing I like best is the Thai Shirt, sort of like a Hawaiian shirt, real comfortable and feels cool to the touch. I came back with a really bad sunburn and I wore the Thai Shirt and it didn't feel so bad. Only problem is that I had the biggest size they made, size 60, which was like an Extra Large over here (Size 46 in our scale).

My son liked a snack they had over there, I think it was called "White Elephant" or something like that. Basically crispy noodles that he can break apart and eat. He liked the breaking part, crunching the bag, and then opening it up. I think it was like 12 cents a bag, sold in a case. They also had a flavor powder that the kids can sprinkle on it, but it is Thai Hot.

They also had a ton of computer parts they made there. Really good keyboards, mice, and other stuff.
