The much-anticipated 13th edition of the Clutter Sale for Charity will take place on Saturday March 30 from 10am- to 5pm, at the Grand Ballroom of Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, Ratchadamri Road.
Organised annually by the NewsMakers, a group of creative-thinking individuals in media, public relations and interior design, the flea market will feature up to 70 booths offering a rare chance to purchase nearly new discarded treasures, or so-called "clutter", donated by free-spending VIPs and celebrities as well as members of the expat and diplomatic community.
Since its inception in 2006, the event has raised millions for charity, and has become a much-awaited fun and social event for vendors and shoppers alike.
Past events have seen primarily unused or nearly-new good-quality second-hand items, brand-name goods, fashion accessories, jewellery, antiques and vintage clothes, small appliances, kitchenware, decorative items, sports equipment, novelty items and gadgets, and even the occasional vehicle. Companies donated their overruns while fashion houses sell slightly used catwalk outfits.
Also awaiting shoppers is a lucky draw to win air tickets, courtesy of Turkish Airlines, as well as other amazing prizes, from five-star dinner vouchers and spa visits to wines and personal care products. There will also be "the occasional vehicle" on display and a surprise offer from Volvo Withayu GT Cars.
Proceeds will benefit Chulalongkorn Hospital's Genetic Cancer Research Centre under the auspices of the Thai Red Cross.
