Thread: Economy & drought blamed for Songkran shirt sales' drop

BANGKOK, 10 April 2016 (NNT) - The economic slowdown and drought have been blamed for sluggish trade during the Songkran festival. Clothing wholesalers in Bangkok have complained about a drop in floral shirts sales.

Bobae Market is still a must-come for clothes retailers as ever. However, what is different from the previous year is that most of the shops have earned less than before, despite the arrival of the Songkran celebrations.

Wholesalers assume the campaign for water conservation and the economic problem are the causes of their income drop. They believe that Songkran floral shirts, which are the best sellers, will be out of favor with the public when the holiday ends.

That's gonna be a major problem

Or, this could just mean that more people intend to celebrate Songkran topless, yes.

How many daft shirts does a person need?

They'll obviously increase their prices to try and off-set their losses.

Because everyone still has one from last year?

My wife said NO we'll just wear the ones from last year!

Mines 15 years old, mrs says it 'lore' so why get another

Mine's at the dry cleaners

Could this be a victim of Songkran?

I am sure the downswing has nothing to do with much tougher fines for drunk driving or drunk in public. Nothing to do with continuous warnings to act civilized. Nothing to do with the overall clamp down on business as usual.

Where can one go now to have fun?

^That's an Indian jacuzzi

Pat's slept in one so he knows

Surely they've adjusted the sizes for the farang market, and created an xxxl size that would fit over a massive pot belly
