Lest we forget, Dads like nice things, too, and also need pampering from time to time.They may not even know this themselves, but when they see the gifts you’ve bought for them in Bangkok, or Chiang Mai, or elsewhere in Thailand, they’ll realize what they’ve been missing.

Though you can find many cool and interesting items in the big markets in Bangkok and up-country, to really splurge you’ll probably need to hit the Bangkok malls.The Emporium is an excellent place to start, has great selections of diverse products, with some surprising bargains to be had as well.Siam Center / Siam Discovery Center has about 120 shops on four floors, and is perfect for the trendy paterfamilias.The go-to shop has to be Jim Thompson, which always satisfies.For IT-enabled daddies, you’ll be stunned by the variety and prices at Panthip Plaza.
