Thailand gifts for mid-budgets

#11 Thai silk gifts

Silk jewelry bag

Silk is one of the famous export products from Thailand. Most silk farms and weaving companies are located in the north of Thailand.

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!

#19 Elephant pants

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.
