Cheapest Shopping Destinations in the World

Some people travel the world seeking thrills like climbing the tallest mountain or running a marathon through a tundra. Others love a different kind of thrill: the thrill of a great shopping deal!

The best shopping cities in the world have got it all. Whether you’re into weekly flea markets and farmers markets, funky neighborhood boutiques with items from artists and craftsmen, or luxury goods, traveling the globe puts fantastic deals at your fingertips.

 

Hong Kong:

Hong Kong sure does enjoy many glamorous malls filled with luxury brands. But you can actually find some fantastic consumer deals in this top-tier shopping city.

To find world-class bargains in Hong Kong, haggle with shop clerks to save big. Let them know what you want and what you want to pay; they’ll see if they can make it happen.

Make your way to the lively Temple Street Night Market, Hong Kong’s hub for bargain shopping. Alternatively, turn to Citygate Outlets for big brands at big discounts or Ladies Market for some exciting haggling in a fashion-filled, open-air market.

Mexico:

This exciting country is a great place to find cheap designer goods from labels that manufacture locally. Find these brands at affordable wholesale prices.

Big brands that manufacture in Mexico include Nike, Patagonia, Land’s End, LL Bean, Mancandy, Lorena Saravia, CIHUAH, Philips, Siemens, Nokia, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and many more. You can also find fantastic deals at local markets and shops on pottery, jewelry, blankets, baskets, dolls, toys, and traditional handicrafts.

Thailand:

In Bangkok, the capital city, find huge open-air markets that sell everything you could think of. Fill your suitcase with cheap clothing, electronic gadgets, artisan-made goods, and more than a few watches.

Spend your weekend exploring the 8,000 stalls of Chatuchak Weekend Market spread across a maze of 35 acres with a little bit of everything on sale. The Union Mall is another hot spot for bargains, not too far from Chatuchak, with prices generally lower than other malls in the city.
