Places to start

Thai food and halal options

Search by city and check operating details directly. For halal needs, verify certification or preparation rather than treating pork-free as certification.

Souvenirs and packing checks

Tea, design goods and regional crafts

Before buying, check weight, liquids, batteries, medicine, food, plants and restrictions with the carrier and both countries’ customs authorities. Being sold does not guarantee you can bring it home.
