    Gift for Thai G/F

    My girlfriend's birthday is two weeks from now. I'll send her flowers, but I need to buy her a gift also. I am pretty useless when it comes to buying gifts for women, especially Thai women. Something around/under 2,000 baht should be good enough. She is in her 30s, no kids, works a boring office job, likes to watch American movies and CNN, reads the occassional Thai book, not into sports, doesn't drink or smoke (basically your typical, good natured Thai gal). So what should I get her?

    2 thousand baht notes should do it, or 4 five hundred baht notes, or to make it look more 20 100 baht notes.

    Other than that, anything that is returnable

    A t shirt with an amusing loggo, like an arrow captioned underneath 'i'm with stupid'

    or 'My boyfriend went to Thailand and all I got was this shirt.'

    That will make her chuckle.

    Girls like jewely. A ring might be too much for you, I mean the meaning of it. So it should be a bracelet, what do you think?

    Thai girls like gold

    They can easily turn it into ca$h

    How about 2 tennis balls on strings. Like they twirl on Ko Phan Ghan.

    How about a nice, quite sexy, but not tarty, nightdress or skimpy pyjamas?

    Don't buy her jewelry!
    Thais generally do not appreciate 'foreign' gold, nor the value of gemstones.
    I usually buy her a nice flask of Perfume, something that will last some time, make her feel good, impress her friends with and reminds her of you.

    I bet 0.00001% of Thai women like it. (Look at Pooly's post).

    Well GoW, I really didn't think that most Thai women would like that, but I would have when I was younger.
    How about perfume then?

    I think all women like nice perfume.

    So, do you think they all only want gold, that they can convert to cash?

    I bought my missus a trolley that could carry a load of her stuff for when she goes to the market.

    She loves it. It now means I can empty the car quicker and don't complain as much,
