Lukdod – the cheapest shopping in Pattaya!

Shopping in Pattaya is a good relaxation and it's everywhere. There are thousands of shops, big, small, modern or modest, department stores, supermarkets, street vendors and markets. The most interesting big stores are: two UK’s superstores Tesco-Lotus, based one on North Pattaya Road, just east of the Dolphin roundabout and the other out on Sukhumvit Road at Moo 12 and Thai’s answer to foreign superstores - Big C which based in Central Festival Centre and one on South Pattaya Road at Sukhumvit Road. Look at Map of Pattaya and Jomtien and Economy Class Vacation in Pattaya. Between Beach Road and Second Road you can found Mike Shopping Mall with five floors of shops and many stalls on the ground floor. Small shops and stalls are everywhere. You can buy anything you want but pay from 50 to 500 THB for the same souvenir. Of course prices in the Central Pattaya are bigger then in my favorite Jomtien. But if you want to return home with some of the country's wonderful handicrafts and don’t want to loose your time (and your money) for long disputes with Thai salespeople – go to the Lukdod shop. It base 209/10 Moo 6 North Pattaya Road – ten minutes for a walk from Pattaya bus station. All of those baskets, jewellery, handbags, rags, wall-hangings and other consumer goods which you saw on the Beach Road here you can buy more chipper. Because Thai sellers are taking some of there merchandise from Lukdod. All of my visits to Pattaya I spend two ours and $100-200 for a big backpack with all kinds of Thai souvenirs: wooden elephants, crocodilian belts, skate’s handbags, elephant’s shit notebooks. And everybody at home knows – don’t ask me about souvenirs because elephant’s shit happened!
Alien vs. Predator – it’s my son’s best souvenir.
