Hi guys just wondering if there are any shopping platforms in Thailand available?

Obviously Ebay is not available, right? What's your alternative?

Cheers Steve

shipping to Thailand is offered by some Shops from overseas, but you can't have an Ebay Account or Ebay shop in Thailand. In fact, there's no Ebay in Thailand. What are you smoking?

he can buy from eBay. I do all the time. Thai EBay accounts in Thailand were shifted to .com accounts or other countries depending on eBay criteria.. Lots of Thai sellers exist.. and many sellers will ship to Thailand free if charge as well. So educate yourself. On eBay since 2003.

Gret recommendations... I use the first 2 options often. They both offer money back guarantee and very fast delivery when Seller originates from Thailand, so you can order with confidence. Happy shopping !

eBay does work, and sone products have prestated shipping and customs, like Amazon. Try Amazon UK, sometimes shipping cheaper than UA site. Lazada China items usually arrive in 2-3 weeks, but AliExpress can takes months; small items seem to arrive by ship, which takes forever.

When browsing for items check where the item is located. Many things on sale are sent from China and (currently) will take 3-4 weeks or more to arrive. Both platforms have a filter for “local” which means the item is physically in Thailand already.

He already gave you the best advise, plus you can buy in Amazon US and receive it here -paying taxes- in case you're not finding the items you want.

Little bit expensive, but works very good.

Also you can buy from AliExpress. Goods would take around 15 days/one month to arrive.

Amazon pre-calculate the import duty and customs charge and add that on to the price. In the event that those charges are cheaper they do actually refund you the difference.

Have ordered already from Amazon, that's the reason I'm suggesting.

It's not cheap, despite procedure.
