  7. Soap carving is a very popular type of applied art in Thailand. To this day, soap flower souvenirs are made throughout Thailand, but such luxurious works of art are only made in Chiang Ray and its surrounding villages. The only distinction between these lovely flowers and natural flowers is that they will never fade. These carved exotic flowers are made of ordinary soap and are very realistic to their originals - roses, orchids, tulips, daffodils - and their smell is also amazing. Such unusual souvenirs were available at a Thai market near Chiang Rai. Visitors and locals alike can try their hand at carving a flower out of soap.


    Previously, soap carving was a hobby, but their incredibly beautiful work eventually became in high demand among tourists at the city's night markets. For many years, this art has been passed down from generation to generation. The work is done with a specific type of knife, so the outcome of the soap flower is solely dependent on the skill of the master who is working on it. If scented candles are traditional gifts, soap carvings can be a good substitute. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, ranging from a structured blooming lotus to a dainty blue flower with a ladybug on it. Their fragrance is all the more exotic as a Thailand souvenir.

  10. Insects (yes, you read that correctly) are an authentic part of Thai cuisine, whether raw or cooked in a wok. Thailand went a step further by packaging them in chip bags. Jing Leed, Maeng Kee Noon, Non-Mai Non, Non-Pai, and Tak Ga Tan are just a few of the names. Get a pack of these for your friends who are looking for something different to eat.


    Over 50 insect species are edible in Thailand and can be consumed all year. Silk worm pupae, bamboo worms, locusts, beetles, crickets, red ants, and other insects are among the most popular. These and other insects necessitate specific collection methods; for example, locusts, crickets, and other types of insects are collected by luring them into nets with a light.


    While these insects are commonly consumed, data on their nutritional values is limited, though some information on the proximate composition, minerals, and vitamins of the most common edible insects is available. All insects are high in protein and minerals, with protein content ranging from 7 to 21 grams per 100-gram edible portion. Furthermore, depending on the type of insect, different cooking recipes can be used to improve acceptability.
