"Hi, my name is Sean Graham on behalf of Expert Village, sponsored by gotenkey.com. You can buy everything you need for the bathroom here and you'll find it's a lot cheaper than back home. Shampoo usually works out to be about fifty baht; toothpaste, twenty baht; soap is usually around fifteen baht. You'll see the price of ladies' tops here for one-hundred thirty-nine baht or ninety-nine baht. I see jeans, and everything you need. There is beautiful jewelry that will cost you anywhere from ten to twenty baht. There are bowls and baskets for the home that will cost you anywhere between ten and thirty baht for one of these. Ladies clothing will cost you around one-hundred and fifty baht. There are a lot of hand-woven baskets around here ranging from thirty to one hundred baht. Here in Thailand, they have equivalent to what we call in Britain a car boat boot sale with many second-hand goods and many new goods that are very cheap. Pharmacies are not a problem in Thailand. If you are sick, just go to a local pharmacy and they'll get you whatever you need. Quite often, they'll get you a prescription without even having to go see a doctor. I'm not sure it's legal, but they do it anyway."
