The Wholesale Forums

[tlarmburns2328]

Hey guys,

I am looking for a large Thailand B2B site that advertises wholesale products. Also, I am looking for a Thailand wholesa/buisness forum.

Any comments are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

Here's a few but as stated depends what your looking for.The pratunam link is a bit like alibaba some good sellers and then the one's who deal in fakes/unlicensed.Good luck.

Pratunam is a district in Bangkok... most of the stuff in the district is cheap.... and fake..... and the quality is ?????? bit like pantip plaza.... but different products
OTOP is one village one product....[One Tambon One Product].... not being very active at the moment as Thaskin set it up... and the prices are usually o....top
the other I never used... although to be fair I never used any of them... except OTOP on the ground at exhibitions etc.... just to try to source the manufacturers.
I used to source the products direct from the manufacturers in the villages or from their agents if distance was involved..... from hand crafted items to Teak furniture..... still have some contacts
What exactly are you looking for?.... and in what quantity? [this will determine the price and negotiating power]
You have to remember Thailand is not like Europe or the West.... they dont have a computer in every house... and most dont have a landline..... those that do tend to be middle men not manufacturers... and that increases the price.

depends what your buying...... a lot of stuff is fake..... a lot is low quality..... but a hell of a lot is great stuff.... original..... and a good price.... notwithstanding the pounds slip...... but its also possible to get better prices than pratunam... in places like jatujak.... or the backstreet producers who make the stuff

I am looking for abercrombie and hollister. I have already looked at greengecko.biz and the prices seem too high to make any profits. I am trying to get into contact with people in Thailand to get the items cheap. Of course they have to be original, but I heard alot of Abercrombie and Hollister is manufactured in Thailand.

You won't get much (if at all) cheaper than GreenGecko for authentic goods. Go much cheaper than that and you are on dodgy ground indeed.

I would consider changing market if you feel you cannot make a decent enough profit sourcing these types of goods.

why not ask the brand name companies who their distributors are... and their sales policy..... that way you are sure to get genuine...... I Dont think Thailand is going to be your saviour with the products you want to sell. [could be wrong]... if your comparing genuine with ebay.... its a mistake
