Recommended:
Require caution (many counterfeits): Tiger Balm, Counterpain, Sato — buy only from verified stores.
Recommendation: Send us links from both platforms and we'll find you the best deal.
Under $15: Tiger Balm set, 5 Star toothpaste set, traditional Thai tea
$15–$40: NaRaYa bag, Snail White skincare set (cream + serum), natural fragrances and soaps
$40+: Greyhound or Jaspal clothing, cold-pressed coconut oil + essential oils set, silk accessories
Tip: Most skincare products last 12–24 months — it's worth buying 2–3 units.
Lazada is better for cosmetics, pharmacy and electronics — thanks to LazMall with verified official stores. Shopee is excellent for clothing, accessories and second-hand products at lower prices. Send us links from both and we'll find you the best deal.
Three main rules: buy from LazMall or Official Store, check that the price is reasonable (too cheap = suspicious), and look for reviews with customer photos. Additionally — BuyInThai physically checks every product before it goes to shipment.
11.11 (November) is the biggest with 30–70% discounts. Then 12.12 (December) and 9.9 (September). It's worth preparing a shopping list a week in advance and sending it to us — we'll activate the coupons for you on sale day.
Our bestsellers: Snail White Cream for facial skin restoration, Smooth E for scars and stretch marks, Mistine for cheap and quality everyday makeup, and Karmart for body cream. All effective, all authentic — and all cost a fraction of what they'd cost elsewhere.
For small budget: Tiger Balm set + 5 Star toothpaste. For medium budget: NaRaYa bag or Snail White set. For larger budget: Greyhound clothing, quality essential oils or silk accessories. Everything can be consolidated into one economical package.
On average 40–65% on skincare and pharmacy products. For example: Snail White locally ~$50, with us ~$20. The savings are even greater on clothing and accessories.
Absolutely. Brands like Colgate, Pantene, Dove and Nivea — the Thai version is completely identical in quality to the local version and costs 40–60% less. This is one of the most profitable tips we give new customers.
Very simple — send us the product page link on WhatsApp and we order for you with our local address and card. No need for a Lazada account, no problems with foreign credit cards, and no language barriers.
Curry pastes (green, red, massaman) for a gourmet meal in 10 minutes, quality fish sauces, Thai tea (Cha Yen mix), and rice noodles. Important — fresh food is prohibited for shipment, only packaged and dry products.
Yes — especially for liquids, glass and creams. Insurance costs only 2% of package value and covers damage or loss. On a $100 package that's just $2 for complete peace of mind. Highly recommended.
