10 Reasons Why You Must Shop In Thailand

Thailand is one of the best destinations for shopping as you can be spoiled for choice. Think again if you are planning to accompany your family member (specially women) to this South East Asian Country as you may have to head to Casinos to satisfy their infinite demands.


One may wonder why go to Thailand for shopping when there are many other popular shopping destinations and the answer is simple - 'Best Value For Money'. In Thai, you can purchase atleast 2 times of what you purchase in other Asian, American and European cities.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons for you to plan your next shopping destination as Thailand. Take a look.

1. You Can Bargain - Off late, it is extremely difficult to even check a price tag in a branded shopping store/ malls but in Thailand you need not worry as the sellers are ready to make a good deal and help you feel worth post purchase. (Note: Bargains are restricted to unbranded stores alone).

2. The More You Buy The Better The Price - Yes, that's the speciality of this place, the sellers convince you to buy atleast three bags or pairs of shoes for discount and you will also want to grab all colours/ designs of goods.


3. Friendly And Smiling Salesperson - Nowhere in world do you see the inviting and smart salesmen / saleswomen like in Thailand. They invite you, allow you to take time and wouldn't make face if you didn't buy.

4. Unbranded But Equally Stylish - Although one will find many branded goods, there are equally good unbranded ones available. For teenagers and practical shoppers, this place is heaven.

Brands, however, are available almost everywhere in the world but local goods reflect tastes and one gets to experience that as well.

5. Durable Though Not Guaranteed - While branded goods come with a guarantee, unbranded may not but still serve one's purpose well.

Women, generally, take a good care of their belongings so they need not worry about warranty. Bags and Shoes will definitely be worth the amount spent if taken little care (by avoiding use on rainy or adventure days etc).

6. All Sizes, All Colours - Yes, travellers will be left with surprise with the overall collection. Colours and patterns are any which way you want and demand.

7. Gifting Is Also Easy - Purchasing Souveniers for Relatives and Friends is a tough job in famous shopping cities (America, Europe) as there are hardly anything available for the minimum budget, but here, you need not worry.

8. No Damaged Or Used - The products available are not used or second hand products. They are neither manufactured with toxins or any other allergic products just to sell at reduced rates.

9. Accessories Are Also Ample - Hairclips, funky rings, bracelets, earrings, neck pieces are flattering, lightweight, elegant and beautiful.

10. Home Decor And Handicrafts - Traditional Thai art work on wood and bamboo are also famous. Do not miss to add to your home interiors.

Globally Accepted Winter Fashion Secrets

Gone are the days when women looked hot only during summers, today, seasons have nothing to harm fashion and styling. With sweaters and jackets, women can look sensuous far more than men can imagine. Today, i shall share some fashion secrets that we observed, accepted and are flaunted by most women all over. Take a look.

General Make Up Secrets
So what if you have wrapped yourself with warm clothes, some makeup can change everything. A lovely red/orange lip colour and a dark eye makeup can make you look bright and interesting.

Reds are great for evenings and pinks/browns for sunny days. Plum and peach blush go well with both.
A highlight to lashes is the best way to make your eyes look lively and mysterious during the cold seasons.
The long lashes show up your best sight.

If you are planning for a thick liner, avoid a darker eye shadow. Sometimes shimmering itself can give a great finish. Dove eyed makeup is still in.

It is time to make your eyebrows thinner than the usual. Thin and long eyebrows are happening this season.
Pearls, Platinum, coloured stones and dull Gold jewelry are a good match.

For Teens Or Budget Fashionistas
As you cannot flaunt tattoos during winters, you can sport face piercings. Coloured hair, streaks (electric blue, flourescent pink, orange and yellow) are in trend.

Your hair colours can match sweaters, winter jackets and stockings. If you prefer Black, Blues and Browns as they easily suit most of your outfits, you can still match your look with colourful floral Brouch, Stoles or Bags.

Cool, Classic And Comfortable!
Watches get all the highlight in this season. Metallic (preferably Titanium) or leather straps look stunning. For women, fashion Bracelets (such as Pandora) look fabulous as your wrist shines with the sparkling studded beads.
Rings are also the best or most preferred accessories for the season. A gemstone or delicate designs look attractive and perfect.

Nail colours are normally matched with lip colours, you can also match with hair colours by keeping your face makeup simple and subtle.

Braids, plaits, buns, bouncy curls, fish tails are definitely preferred by most women.

Beautiful Quill hats, winter caps, hair bands can add to your overall winter fashion persona.

Is Your Footwear Right For Travel? : Fashion Tips

It was in 2004 and we (family), were on a temple visit to Ahobilam (Andhra Pradesh). I remember wearing bright pink heels to the travel as I thought it would go well with all my traditional salwars. The heels were pointed and were not very comfortable for long journeys.

Suddenly, the guide there, told us that we could trek the hills of Ahobilam and discover the sites where the demon king Kashyap was killed. All our family members got ready to climb the steep hills and I too, scaringly, agreed. We took off from the foot of the hills, the rocks were slippery due to waterfall and algae growth. All my cousins seemed so far away like as though they have reached the end point.

I hurried, I wanted to run but my heels almost killed me and that was when I realised that fashion isn't everything and what matters the most in travel is comfort. From then on, the first thing I do is plan my footwear for the place we are to visit. Here are some travel fashion tips exclusively for footwear.
Travel Fashion Tips For Footwear
1. Flip Flops: You may not be informed about these sudden travel plans so always carry simple flip flops. They are cheapest, light weight and can even serve as beach/bathroom slippers. Flip Flop make you look cool and casual.
2. Floaters: I still remember my Nike ACGs, they were, by far, the most comfortable for summer treks. They also look good with sock and are quite gripping. Floaters give you a rough, gutsy, casual and tom boy look.
3. Shoes: Prefer sneakers as they go well with clothes. They are stylish, light and give you a youth look. Sport shoes are also the hot choices for travel. Shoes are versatile for winter as they are practical and travel friendly. For women flat shoes are a perfect choice.
What's In? It is hard to carry matching shoes for every outfit and the best fashion tip for this would be to match your dress with the 'shoe lace' colours. In Germany, I found the youth matching their clothes with different coloured shoe lace for winter, trust me, it is the coolest in thing for now (specially the flourescent colours).
4. Heels: Even if you like to wear heels, prefer shorter platforms and heels. You, then, do not feel very elevated or as though you are straining foot too much. They are good for beach parties and holy visits.
Remember, a 'happy feet' can keep you happy all your travel and simple mistakes like I did can spoil all the fun and excitement you dreamt from long.
Be Grounded Yet Gorgeous, You Will Certainly Gain A Comfortable Travel!

How To Choose My Travel Accessories?

It may be surprising but true, accessories depend on the destination you are travelling. Today, my focus is on arm accessories such as bracelets, bands and more that go with the travel locale. Take a look for more interesting details.

First of all, avoid too shiny, sequined accessories as they are most of the times party specific stuff. Beads, silver loops, bands and crystals match up to places that woman would love to flaunt. 

Travel Fashion Tips:

Beach Or Bikini Accessories - Tribal jewellery, terracota, colourful beads, sea shell types, crazy designs go well with casual and cool outfits. For beach, one would choose colourful or bright shades and that is why women get a chance to try out various fashion bands/bracelets to complete the trendy look.

Business Tour - Prefer simple beads or silver bracelets for your office. Choose blacks, whites and blues as they are perfect to your serious/ formal appearance. Branded steel strap watches go well with beady or pearl bracelets. 

Trekking/ Safari/ Adventure Travel - Normally, women avoid wearing too heavy accessories for such trips. I suggest bands that add to the sporty look or match your trek shoes. Natural wooden bead designs or army coloured bands look nice with cargos and Ganjis.

So What's For Party? - Crystals, Shining stones or even gold accessories suit your dress the best. Do not accessorize more than what your dress demands. Sometimes not flaunting anything with an over shiny dress itself is fashionable. 

What To Watch Out?

1. Too sharp and raw cut shells may prick and irritate your skin constantly so wear them and try before you buy. 
2. Metallic accessories may give a bad odour due to the chemical composition so stay away from these carcinogens. 
3. For a sun tan in beach, avoid wearing on hand as they almost permanently accessorize your skin.
4. Temporary tattoos are at times better than heavy beads and suit perfectly for beach dresses.

Fashion Colours For Travel?

Yes, colours definitely have something to do with travel. They define your personality, common sense and comfort. We, often find fellow tourists dressed in funny colours that actually don't suit the place. They would look like as if they have just landed from an alien planet. I hope you wouldn't wish to be them so take a look at the basics of fashion colours for a fashionable travel. 

Get inspired by the colour of nature: Colours like blues, greens, yellows and whites are universally accepted travel colours. Either you can choose the shades of them or combine. These colours also make you look lighter, calmer and fresh for the day journey.

Whites are definitely the best choice for comfort. The pure cotton or linen outfits are always trendy and happening.

Denim trousers and jackets look cool with whites, yellows and greens. They are tough and stretchable for a tough travel.

Some floral colours like pinks, lilac and browns can also be preferred with the above combinations.
Blacks and dark blues aren't the colours of summer travel but for swim suits they can be a safe choice.

Safari Colours: Military green, greys and beiges are perfect for tom boy fashion. For jungle safaris, these are most preferred as they are not flashy (won't disturb the eyes of jungle beasts).

Florescent colours look nice for certain activities. Bicycle riding, trekking, swimming and go karting give you the freedom to choose these colours. They define crazy behaviour and are adventure colours.

What colours to avoid: Prefer colours according to skin tone. Too bright and flashy shades make you look unnecessarily jazzy and as though you are scheming for attention.

Avoid sequined clothes, satins and velvet for travel. Reserve them for parties alone.

Top 5 Hairstyles For Travellers

Women often find it difficult to manage hair while travelling, especially on bike rides. Today, i shall suggest a few tips on how to style hair while zooming on wheels. Take a look.

Top 5 Hairstyles For Travellers

  1. Plait Hairstyles - Use a head band to lock the front hair and plait it with a band/ clip. This hairstyle keeps your hair tangle and sweat free. The plaiting can be of the type you like or the type that suits hair.
  2. An Easy Double Pony - This style is too simple. First, bring all the top portion of the hair and make a pony in the centre. The lower portion is also pony tailed with the tail of the upper pony and the styling is done. The two pony tails can have matching hair bands of your dress. Avoid hair claws as they lead to breakage of hair while travelling.
  3. Bandana Hairstyle - If you prefer to let your hair loose then bandanas are great accessories to hair. Set your well combed hair with a head band and cover a bandana over it. The style is most happening among bike enthusiasts. 
  4. African Braids - These are cool ways to style hair while zooming on wheels. Plait hair with individual braids and the styling is done! Braiding suit kids too. The condition of hair (oily or dry) doesn't apply if your braiding.
  5. Buns - Ballerina, knots or braids, women have no age bar for buns. A summer travel is enough to damage hair but buns can save. Bring all the hair to the top and band it into a bun.  A head band or sunglass can add to the style.
