I've always liked quality at a relatively affordable price, of course you can get top Australian stuff at "R.M. Williams" but the prices are over the top, I personally would go to the "Rivers" on line shop http://www.rivers.com.au/Online_shop.htm and pick something you like, that's more affordable, Australian design and Quality and it can be shipped directly to his address.

A gift voucher would be best so that he can buy whatever he needs.

Nice watch? Maybe, he already has one.

Perfume? You think it is the best brand. But he thinks it is suitable to his grandma.

I insist that a gift voucher is the best. You decide it to suit your purse. He will decide which suits him best.

Ok, so here is what I am thinking.....


Shoes.... not because there aren't shoes in Thailand...
Its just that every single pair I bought there fell apart....
So, a decent pair of Australian made shoes for Winai (the driver) and his son.
Decent, as in the kind of shoes I would expect to last me 3 years.

And maybe a book or two on Australia, Australian wildlife???? with lots of photo's etc.

I guess I am thinking more of his son...
Its hard to generalise about what a young lad - I think he is about 11, would want.
The kind of things the local 11 year old here get up to and are into are so very different from me when I was 11.......
So kind a hard to imagine what an 11 year old Thai boy I have never met might think is cool. I'm just making a wild guess....

My stepson is now 13, but he is Thai and I've known him since he was 9 years old, and whenever he knows I am coming to visit he always gets mum to ask me to bring chocolate. And when I'm there he only ever asks me for money to buy chocolate, crisps and biscuits.

Last year I took him a talking sausage (Peperami - it's a bit of an animal!) and he played with it everyday I was there for a month.

Chocolate, Yelly Gums etc. are always very appreciated by kids.

Like Jas mentioned, Computer Games (Playstation etc.) are good.

What about a nice watch for the father, as in Thailand many fake watches.

Parfume for the mother; as Parfume is expensive in Thailand and there are many fake ones.
Do not get the wrong idea about things in thailand.
For kid,as whatever you wrote , I am totally agree with.
For father and mother, firstly , you should mention about what they are really need and your budget.

In thailand , we have either very cheap goods with or without quality or high end products.

Mention about different people has got different taste

He will not wear a nice watch while driving taxi, coz him get in trouble from robberies.

and I do not think perfume is a good idea for every female till you exactly know which one she really like it

From my individual experience, my boyfriend brought my a bottle of Dior No.5 as he thougth it was a very great smell. I only used it twice and gave it to grandma

Tips: 1.any person who usually use perfume know exactly which bottle or brand she /he like
2.Many people do not like using purfume
