Going far beyond the standard

book introduces you to the richly rewarding world of
travel-shopping. Designed for discerning travellers who enjoy
exploring roads less travelled, meeting local talent, and
discovering the best a country has to offer visitors, this
guidebook literally takes you on an adventure of a lifetime.

countries and you'll discover intriguing lands of exceptionally
friendly and gracious people, talented craftspeople, bustling
cities and towns, picturesque countryside, idyllic beaches and
villages, colourful festivals, exciting cuisine, gorgeous hotels
and resorts, fun activities, and fascinating cultures. Thailand and
Myanmar also are shopping paradises where you can literally 'shop
til you drop' and still want to come back for more. Representing
the first 'how-to' travel-shopping guide for these destinations,
the book unravels in enormous detail the many hidden treasures and
pleasures of Thailand and Myanmar. Focusing on the 'best of the
best' of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and nine other locations in Thailand,

seasoned travel-shoppers explore key markets, shops, factories,
department stores, shopping centres, studios, and homes for

clothes, handicrafts, and home decorative items. Combining great
shopping with fine restaurants, hotels, sightseeing, and
entertainment, this insightful book represents the ultimate
