Whether
you are travelling for business or leisure you will often be required to
purchase a gift for either friends or perhaps business colleagues.
Choosing what gifts to buy can be tricky, below we give you some tips on
some gifts that people in different countries within Asia may well
appreciate. Eventually
we will devote a separate page to each of the different countries listed
below but for now we will keep everything on this one page. We have two
separate gift ideas per country one if you are travelling to that
country and another giving possible examples of gifts if you are leaving
that country.a Hong
Kong - To:
If you are travelling to Hong Kong you may appreciate knowing that it is
illegal for Hong Residents and Nationals to bring cigarettes and alcohol
into the country. Therefore a gift of such goods can often be
appreciated. Prices of alcohol and cigarettes in Hong Kong are
expensive. Depending on where you are travelling from food can also be
an appreciated gift, perhaps something local to where you live that may
be difficult to get in Hong Kong. From
- Some unusual gifts can be bought in Hong Kong such as different types
of Chinese Tea, herbal teas or medicines, or some Chinese style
antiques. Singapore
-
To: Again another country where alcohol and cigarettes are expensive, even
though the arrival Duty Free at Singapore's Changi airport has some
cheap rates. It is illegal for anyone to take cigarettes into Singapore
so you may want to forget that as you will be fined if caught. From
- similar to Hong Kong gifts that could be appreciated when travelling
from Singapore could include different Teas, some local foods such as
Chicken Rice, Chinese style antiques etc. Thailand
- To:
this is quite tough as most things in Thailand are very good value for
money if not cheaper than in the country you are originating from. Again
alcohol and food gifts can make nice gifts and are normally always
appreciated. Cigarettes are not so
expensive in Thailand so such a gift would not be worth as much. From
- Most packable food stuffs from Thailand, such as noodles can be
purchased very affordably and can make a great gift. Other ideas could
be Thai pottery, silks, clothes, DVD's (check regional setting),
furniture etc. Because things in Thailand are excellent value for money
then many things can be regarded as a bargain. More
countries to come. If you know of any good gifts that can be purchased
when travelling to or from any country in Asia please do contact
us and let us know.
