• Wondering if China World shops accept credit cards? Do they do vat refunds? Please advise. Thanks.

  • I asked at one shop and they said they accept credit cards on purchases over 2000 baht. But many shops do not accept credit cards. No VAT refunds.

• Could you explain where the Lycra shop is and name of shop please. I don’t know the Temple. Thank you.
