What and where to buy in Thailand

In Chiang Mai is a huge shopping mall. There are flocking furniture masterpieces of handicraft centers, located in the north of the provinces of Nan, Phrea, Lampang. Teak furniture, rattan and bamboo - a national craft. She is beautiful, environmentally friendly, non-allergenic, will any decor, but not cheap and in terms of the purchase and delivery terms. If it will be enough just interior souvenirs, they offer abundant in every corner of the country. In Thailand, there is a cult elephant, so as a national symbol tourists are offered elephants are believed to have their figures bring into the house of happiness. Good as the version of "Singing Frog" teak, which is designed to provide you with prosperity in the house. Another popular Thai idols, masks, Buddha boxes. You should know that the export of ivory is prohibited.
In Chanthaburi sold in the range of precious and semiprecious stones. Buy all you can and in other places, but more expensive. Reputable shops issue certificates of conformity. Hawkers may please the cheap products, but very likely a fake. Rough stones out of the country is prohibited. Gold and silver, especially blackened, good and different unique design. Such prices on jewelry, as in Thailand, there is probably nowhere else in the world.
In Chiang Mai, Korat and Surin can become the proud owner of handmade products of excellent silk. Thai silk amazing beauty and considered among the best in the world. They are everywhere, but if in the center of Bangkok «Jim Thompson Silk House» they are rather expensive, then at the night market street Patrong and Silom Road, as well as at the top of the street Sukumvit Road offers a reasonable agreement "price-quality", however, the quality of care must be taken separately. You can haggle, but kindly and friendly. Generally, silk can buy in any mall in Bangkok, Phuket or Pattaya.
In Chiang Mai made famous green porcelain "celadon", which is a long time in the world export. After some decline it again at the peak of popularity. Finer translucent products simply tempt those who are able to appreciate the beauty. Sold everywhere.
The skin can be supplied and the first item, because Thailand - a paradise for lovers of her. The range is really huge - from 3.u.e thing for pork or buff to a few hundred USD for the handbag or belt leather skates or reptiles. Do not believe the assurances only "real elephant skin"! It is excluded. In Bangkok, there is a great place - mall IAC. As the saying goes: "If you did not find her purse in the ERM - you will not find it anywhere else." Besides leather bags there and cotton and silk, and grape; huge bags and tiny clutches - Everything is there! You can still visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market - as an alternative to well-known brands out there offering young designers creations, which is also quite interesting. On weekdays, better to go to Platinum Mall - truly a mecca for bags fans. Especially because there are, the more you buy, the more discounts!
If you want to buy clothes and shoes, the Bangkok - this is what you need for Phuket and Pattaya in this respect more. Branded goods in boutiques still cheaper than anywhere else, and after Chatuchak Pratunam Market, located in Bayok Tower - the second largest. This democratic place, where you can stock up on decent wardrobe for an amount equal to 500 rubles.
Technique in Thailand should buy at least for the reason that many well-known brands are produced under license. Decent quality, prices across the country are not very different, but this is the biggest center «Pantip Plaza» in Bangkok - for Computers - Hardware in there, there in the presence of all the new items and prices are slightly lower.
Fans of retro and vintage also have something to "make money" in such a trip. Local flea market counterparts are abundantly present in Bangkok. From vintage cameras and watches to clothes from my grandmother's trunk offers you: Chatuchak (Rod Fai Market), metro station Thong Lor (Thong Lor) and Ekkamai (Ekkamai), FASHION Vintage, vintage cars and even in-store museum Thai Auto Vintage.
For tourists is falling in Pattaya, bypassing Bangkok, on the coast offers an extensive range of beach accessories and inexpensive souvenir stuff.
