Are you planning to relax in sunny Thailand and are already in anticipation of a long-awaited trip? You are very lucky! But one should not forget about the many friends and relatives who remain to while away workdays in the open spaces of their beloved homeland. Try to bring them at least a small piece of such a distant and mysterious Thai happiness. Souvenirs from Thailand will not only become the personification of care and attention on your part, but will also help to convey the special flavor of the country. So what can be brought from Thailand?
Traditional medicine and cosmetics
Arriving in Thailand, you will certainly hear about natural cosmetic and medical products, which are based on a variety of local herbs. Among them are coconut, sesame and pineapple oils, hair masks with papaya extract or rice milk, a variety of collagen balms and many other very original personal care products. And tinctures from snakes and scorpions will cause a storm of conflicting emotions. However, you can be sure that such souvenirs from Thailand will certainly shock your relatives and friends with their originality. All this can be bought both in ordinary stores and in specialized health centers.
Latex products
A variety of latex products — mainly mattresses and pillows — are made from the juice of the Givea tree, which grows in southern Thailand. By purchasing these products in latex factories, you can be sure of their strength and durability. For ease of transportation, such gifts from Thailand are packed in a special vacuum film that compresses them to miniature sizes.
Flowers and fruits
When choosing presents, one should not forget about exotic or even very familiar fruits (bananas, pineapples) - after all, in this country they have a more intense and vibrant taste. They can be purchased at any supermarket, as well as in fruit street stalls. And convenient and roomy baskets will help to bring the fruits safe and sound.
Keep in mind that potted flowers are not allowed out of the country. Such gifts from Thailand can be bought for export in a small box, and the stems of plants will be in special capsules, contributing to their longer storage. Of course, the main pride of the country is the delicate and sophisticated orchids.
Knitwear and silk
Silk in Thailand can be purchased either in the meter or in the form of finished products. Since the process of its production is quite painstaking and lengthy, such a fabric is not too cheap. Before buying, you should clarify whether this is a natural product. In addition, a wide assortment of knitwear is presented in the windows of numerous shopping centers, in local markets or in supermarkets. Moreover, prices for such things are simply amazing for their democratic nature, and the quality of products is in no way inferior to foreign counterparts.
Accessories & Jewelry
Your loved ones will also be grateful for receiving a variety of accessories and jewelry as a gift. Unlike wardrobe items, the purchase of which there is a risk of making a mistake with the size, such souvenirs from Thailand delight with their versatility and ability to complement almost any image.
Thus, the abundance of diverse products and the attractiveness of local prices allow you to bring original and at the same time quite useful souvenirs from Thailand. But, carried away by shopping, one should not forget about the elementary precautionary rules - after all, the proposed things can easily turn out to be fakes. Have a good time!
