Jewellery makes up for some of the best souvenirs. And even as gifts, it will be a hit. Check out quality silver jewellery here in Bangkok, for the best prices. You have to make sure these are authentic and genuine. Look out for the .925 stamp on this jewellery which indicates that they are made out of 92.5% of silver. These are ones sold for 99% too! It's all about how much you can splurge. The Khao San Road, Silom Road and Charoen Krung Road are the popular places for silver jewellery.
Thailand is rich in antique collections. Genuine ones are very expensive, and you cannot bring back statues of Buddha out of Thailand. However, there are many intriguing antiques that can serve as souvenirs bringing back memories of Bangkok for years. You can check out these products in places like River City Complex, Chatuchak Market and Silom Village.
