While we’re enjoying all the mid-year sale events in Bangkok, the other shopping cities in the region are welcoming visitors for their annual sales, too—and it’s tax-free for us. In Singapore, The Great Singapore Sale (www.greatsingaporesale.com.sg) wraps up Jul 22. More tempting is the Hong Kong Summer Spectacular (aka Hong Kong Sale, http://tiny.cc/c1sugw), which has been running for the past two weeks but will last until the end of Aug. If you really can’t wait for H&M to open in Paragon, now’s the time for another shopping trip abroad.
