Something to bear in mind when "shopping" here is the business model is a little different to what we are used too. As an example Home-Pro, I initially thought they were relying on high volume sales and discounted prices, I was wrong! from what I can see they sell at top price, there main driver is easy credit so they charge as much as they can then make money from the easy finance also. In most cases you will find goods at a cheaper price in the local run shops, but that takes time and patience, which have never been my strong points! Fair and competitive pricing hasn't caught on in Thailand, the 3 or 4 families that own all the big shops have made sure of that and makes it a pain when you just won't to go out and buy what you need at a fair price.
