Remembering Amazing Thailand

Huh? What does that mean? Oh well, I had the same question when I first saw it. It means like anniversary sale. But I don’t know why they don’t use the word anniversary. Well, I thought that they would soon learn the proper term but seven years later and I still saw the same posters. I thought it’s kinda amusing, though.

Well, a lot of us get attracted when we see the “Sale” sign on a shop window. Since I am a very practical buyer, I love to buy things when they are on sale as long as I need them like shoes. So into the shop I went but I was surprised the prices seemed unchanged. They were still too expensive for me. So I would end up putting them back on the shelf.

Later on I realized that they were just tricking us. Well, I actually saw it with my two eyes. One time I went to a mall and saw a beautiful pair of sandals. But they were too expensive — 499 Baht. A couple of days later I passed by the same mall and saw the “Sale” sign–50% off–on all shoes so I went to check. Guess what I saw? A new sticker with 900 Baht and the supposedly reduced price was still the same — 499 Baht. I wanted to laugh out loud by what I deemed a humorous discovery.
