Shopping/Souvenir

Destination Guide
KANCHANABURI



Major souvenir shops are concentrated around the eastern approaches , and riverine environment, of the world-famous bridge. Almost every handicraft produced in Thailand can be purchased there. Browsing to compare quality, and good-humored but determined bargaining, will ensure favorable prices for ready made leisure wear and other apparel, and popular souvenirs such as jewelry home-spun clothes, wooden furniture and decorations, young coconut jelly, tamarind candy and several kinds of snack.

Kanchanaburi is a major source of high-quality Thai blue sapphires. These are mined at Bo Phloi District, as are onyx and topaz. Purchases of finished jewelry creations can be made at Jewelry Center.
