No doubts the top of the rating belongs to souvenirs. Phuket shopping is unthinkable without hand-made and factory-made mementos.
T-Shirts – is exactly what you should buy in Phuket. “Same same but different”, “No money – no honey”, “May the sauce be with you”, “Tap Snap or Nap The Choice is yours”, all these funny phrases are very popular in Phuket. So if you buy T-shirts with the sign, be sure your friends and relatives will appreciate it.
Elephants – is a symbol of Thailand (it is called “chang” in the thai language), so it’s evident that the statue of elephant is one of the most popular things that people buy in Phuket. They are made of wood, stone, tin and other materials. The images of elephants are given to the persons whom you wish to be happy and lucky.
Silk – is also produced in Thailand. Thai silk is a godsend for fashionistas: quality is high, price is reasonable, design is various.
