When I get to Thailand next month it will be the birthday of my friend who works in the resort where I always stay. Any suggestions on what I should buy him. He is 24 years old this year, if that helps.

Couple of suggestions for you
Football Shirt
Thai men are, more often than not, very keen on football, particularly the English Premier League. If you can find out what his favourite Premier Legaue Team is, then buy him a club shirt. The men in my wife’s family all seem to like Liverpool football club and I have previously bought them LFC shirts online for about £25 a piece.
Wallet
Buy them a wallet. The tradition in Thailand is to put a 1,000 THB baht note inside the wallet with a message written on it for them to have lots of money come.
Whatever you buy your friend I am sure they will appreciate the gesture.
