    Seoul Duty free

    I'm returning to Chiang Mai via Seoul in a few weeks and wondered about the duty free shopping since I have a few hours on the ground. Anyone with any shopping experiences there? Alcohol prices and selection?

    The Seoul airport is a huge and pleasant shopping mall.
    I was last there in September and found that like most so-called 'duty-free' shops the prices were as expensive as in their nearby major city centers, in this instance, Seoul. The duty-free is about equivalent to a reduction in sales tax. The only advantage is a wider selection of items available in one spot. Branded sports apparel, I recall, were very, very expensive; and no assurance they were not knock-offs. Caveat emptor....
    My inner cynic is always on alert ….
