Reader question: Why is perfume so expensive in Thailand?
I want to surprise my Thai girlfriend with a nice smell. Now I recently looked around in Thailand, but it strikes me that the prices there are higher than in the Netherlands. Is that right? Also at Bangkok airport I found duty free prices quite high. Is it better to buy perfume in the Netherlands and take it with me to Thailand or do you have a good tip for me?
Thai man finds precious sperm whale vomit
It looked like a large boulder, but what a Thai man, Narit Suwansang, found on a beach near Nakhon Si Tamarat was not a boulder, but a lump of sperm whale vomit, known as ambergris, as it turned out. So what?, you may think, but such a wooden shoe is extremely expensive.
Reader question: Where can I buy the best perfume?

Why is perfume so terribly expensive in Thailand?
I usually bring some bottles of eau de toilette from the Netherlands for myself. When my favorite fragrance was gone, I decided to take a look at Central. I was shocked at the prices. In the Netherlands at Douglas I pay € 50 for a bottle of 54 ml BLEU DE CHANEL. At Central they asked € 125 for that!
