3) Jewelry
Bangkok is a great place where you can pick up high-quality jewelry, especially silver jewelry at reasonable prices. Also since they are quite small in size, you would not need to worry too much about running out of space in your baggage. You should look out for a range of top-quality hill tribe silver pieces carefully handcrafted by tribes in Northern Thailand. Trust us, the designs are jaw-droppingly beautiful and you can choose from a range of necklaces, bracelets, and rings.
Tip: when you are purchasing silver items, look for a stamp that denotes the type of silver. For example, a '925' seal means that it's
sterling silver jewelry that is made of 92.5% silver.
