This is why you need to hit the local Thai markets!
Guess what, travelers? No more duty-free shopping right after you land in Thailand!Â
The Thai government has made a bold move. Duty-free shops in the arrivals areas of international airports are closing down! But don’t worry, it’s all part of a plan to boost spending in local stores. The decision affects the three companies handling duty-free at Thai airports. And while there’s no fixed deadline yet to when it will happen, changes are definitely coming. Reported by the Bangkok Post, this shift aims to support domestic businesses.Â
So next time you land in Thailand, make sure to explore the local markets and shops. They have so much to offer! So, what do you think about this move?Â
Will you miss the airport duty-free?
