DPKANKAN Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It is a bloody farce. The government, police, army et all have known for years that Thailand is the 'hub' of counterfeit goods. In fact it is probably their main 'hub' and why a lot of tourists come to Thailand..... Not connected vendors obviously!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unamazedloso Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 its a joke. i dont even leave home anymore to buy fake stuff. I get it delivered from Lazada, shoppee, kaidee, etc... Its great! Some of it i can get from china with no taxes, cheaper delivery than domestic in thai. Its great! The only crime is here is that to buy gen stuff from anywhere else i get robbed by taxes and delivery costs. Im so happy the government only cares about pushing cheap crap fake useless stuff from china that allows me to fill the rest of my days fixing, replacing and recycling all the useless crap i can afford...
