Phuket Shopping Guide

What to Buy in Phuket

Phuket has a great variety of Thai handicrafts, some of which come from other parts of Thailand and some which are regional specialities. Intricate filigree leather pictures, items made from coconuts and sea shells, bronze and lacquerware and ceramics are just some of the items produced.

Some have been created by craftsmen whose skills have been handed down for generations while others are produced in factories using the latest in advanced technology and quality control. You really need to see for yourself...

Luxury Cars

One way to make your mark anywhere in the world is to have the right car. In Thailand, the way to pick the right car is, first and foremost, to pick an imported model. Import duties in Thailand pile to around 100%, so your imported car is going to cost perhaps 50% more than a similar car made in Thailand, making imports more desirable as a status symbol.
