What can be brought from Thailand

The list is not quite universal, but suddenly you have something for yourself. will find. By the way, the prices for everything are quite low, it is possible straight boxes purchased

Since we are talking about all sorts of small gifts, I can’t help but tell about life hacking. When shopping on Aliexpress, you can receive up to 11% cashback through the EPN service (they have a browser plugin, phone application). I wrote everything in great detail in my instructions on what it is and how to use it.

Earrings and other silver products is quite profitable to buy on Khaosan, prices are good. But I can not say how much sample is good and all that. Fenki sometimes wear myself and many of my friends, acquaintances, too, so in my case, too, universal present.

Shampoos, creams and other paraphernalia – universal gift, fit almost anyone. Specially looked labels to do it is in Thailand. What kind of cosmetics can be brought from Thailand, you will understand on the spot. In supermarkets, the choice is huge, both international brands and local. If you forgot to buy, then You will have such a chance at the airport, there are shops there. Prices will be already higher, but what to do.

You can also bring coconut oil, and you can take food in the supermarket, not cosmetic. His smell is very pleasant, and It can be used not only in cooking, but also on the body. Simply food is several times cheaper and the volume is more decent than 250 ml or 500 ml. It seems to me that such a gift is quite universal, hardly will be lost if you give someone a female.

I generally now switched to coconut oil in cooking (he very high burning temperature) and it is one of the most useful (and less harmful). Thai is over, ordering organic on iHerb. Well, this is so, note.

I got acquainted with stone deodorants for a long time, the most important feature – they are odorless. True, not quite comfortable in use, as it should be wetted.

From brown toothpaste dragged since he tried, so when I live in Tae I only use it, and then I take it home yourself and the rest. Her taste is not quite normal, but in my opinion very nice.

It is often asked what medicines to bring from Thailand, and not just so this question arises. I myself love to bring Thai balsams and inhalers. The last one is a bomb! Well, very comfortable a thing, but worth a penny. Cold balms are a good thing too, I use them and the like always when I’m sick.

By the way, jars with unscrewed lids are much more convenient. classic “Russian” star, which you can barely open sometimes. And if we talk not about Tiger Balm, but about Tiffirub, then it’s not at all burning and after it there is no irritation on the skin, even for a child. You can buy at any pharmacy, minimarket 7/11 or BigC / Tesco in department with drugs.

Seasoning is a good thing, do not spoil for a long time, and then give memories of hot Thailand and its cuisine. There is only one minus almost all monosodium glutamate. On the other hand, in Asia to this the substance is already accustomed to everything and treat, as we are to salt.

Multicolored rice looks very funny, but it doesn’t taste special. His only minus is that he himself is hard for baggage when every kilogram counts.

Green tea can be brought from any Asian country, it is now almost everyone drinks and it is never much. If not to take in especially tourist places, it will cost a penny. Otherwise cheaper Order from China on the same Aliexpress, well, or in a special tea the store, if you are a connoisseur and understand the difference between cheap and expensive teas.

By the way, I personally liked green tea from BigC / Tesco, there are literally a couple of it. No, he’s pretty ordinary so for every day, unexpressed completely, but a box with inscriptions in Thai, so the souvernier-gift will go.

What fruit to bring from Thailand? Of course, yellow mango, live or dried in a pinch. In Moscow, it costs 300-400 rub for 1 piece and few people bought it. I assure you, you are the best fruit hardly find a gift, the taste is understandable to Russian people. there is still all sorts of rambutans, longons, dragon fruits that have more exotic names and appearances, but they are not at all universal in taste compared to mango. Although as an exotic very, one the appearance of what is worth.

In general, the fruit idea I like the most, because it’s very practical, for any eat. You can gather with relatives and friends and eat a couple of kilos, thereby noting your return from vacation. Only the odds can be in baggage as well There are some problems with the packaging, so as not to pass it on the road. I recommend to take a little greenish, or already yellow, but still solid, then it will come in a week and will be very delicious.

With durian harder. His idea is impossible and the smell is very difficult neutralize even wrapping in a dozen packages. However somehow from time to time someone delivers. I have not yet risked.

P.S. Be sure to write in the comment that you bring from Thailand itself and close? Share, take note :)
