I am not even going to apologize for adding a second wood-carved elephant item to this list. Because look at it. It’s a beautiful design, it’s hand-made in Thailand, and best of all, it includes elephants.
#7 Muay Thai gifts
For those of you who are like me and have no idea what Muay Thai is. It is one of the most popular martial arts forms in Thailand. On Udemy you can find various online courses that teach the techniques. Or check out Amazon for gifts such as Muay Thai shorts, gloves, boxing bags, and more.

Thailand gifts for mid-budgets
#11 Thai silk gifts
Silk is one of the famous export products from Thailand. Most silk farms and weaving companies are located in the north of Thailand. I quite liked these silk jewelry bags, but if you know someone who’s a fine sewer themselves, you could also give them silk fabrics so they can transform it into something beautiful themselves.

If you are looking for Thailand-themed gifts for travelers who can’t get enough of Thailand, perhaps a map of Thailand is a great gift idea.
I loved the Thailand scratch map from Good Weather. However, I must say, I have never ordered anything from there, so I can’t say anything about the quality of the products nor the service of the site. So if anyone has any experience with them, let us know!
So if you are not sure about ordering from Good Weather, you may like the illustrated map of Thailand from Not on the High Street or the geometric design from Etsy.

#19 Elephant pants
Honestly, I can’t even believe I am even sharing the elephant pants as one of the Thailand gifts. It’s basically one of the most cliche outfits for backpackers who love Thailand. The classic, “I went to Thailand and it was a life-changing experience” pants (check the meme).
But let’s face it.
The pants are comfortable, lightweight, thin, dry fast and they cover your knees so you can visit temples without passing out from the heat. Which explains why they are so popular and iconic.
