About fruits.
One more question! Let me remind you that we have a combined tour, Phuket-Bangkok /two days on the way back/. Where is it better, more profitable for us to buy fruit? And what is better not to take? I mean, to deliver in a normal presentation, so that they do not disappear. Someone writes that they pack at the bazaar, someone advises buying plastic containers ... And where will the market be cheaper in Bangkok or Phuket? Thank you in advance!!!

good afternoon! the rest was Phuket without an additional two days)). in fact, they sell baskets for fruits on the market, they cost about 300-450 rubles. There was also a task to bring fruits in a normal form. they took disposable bags and napkins in advance. each mango was wrapped in a napkin and then only in a bag .. each separately! the day they bought fruit put in the refrigerator, of course, not everything will fit in a small refrigerator. put in a suitcase, you can hand luggage. If you don’t want to spend money on a basket, take a similar net for fishermen from home in advance). Only this came to mind, but then it should be large. because you want to bring a lot of fruit)). put in a suitcase. everything arrived in good condition. I think on the way back you definitely need to take it, and not in Phuket.

Join me on the way back. And, as far as we could see, there is always a market near the hotel complexes. Still, I don’t recommend BigCi, the clothes are ordinary there, rather it’s “Lenta”. Look for all sorts of foppishness in Patong in Jang Ceylon, there is such a hefty shopping center there, you can stop by the Festival, taxi drivers know that this is all in Phuket. And in Bangkok, try to settle in the BaiokSky area, the most skyscraper hotel (but not in it, perhaps not higher than the twentieth floors), from there just walk to the Central World, there begins a gallery, a pedestrian bridge over the streets, from which you can get to the most interesting shops.

Fruits in Thailand are cheap, so I don’t see the point in looking for where it’s 3.5 baht cheaper. Buy on the day of departure, or in the evening before departure. We carried everything perfectly in hand luggage, in a plastic basket. But in Thai fruits, the main thing is not the price, the main thing is their taste. Pineapples are amazing, there are none here, mangoes are cool, longan, lychee liked.

It is better to buy fruits in Bangkok before departure, it is better in the market, and not at the airport. Take a slightly unripe mango, you can not bring a ripe one. It perfectly "reaches" the house.
The cost of fruits in different places can vary significantly.
I think that by the rest conf you will decide for yourself which fruits you like best and take them :)
What city are you from?
The fact is that at some airports the sanitary services are severely atrocious, last year there was a disaster with Novosibirsk - they selected fruit only in this way.
The border guards are very familiar with fruit baskets from Thai flights. Therefore, for example, it is better to pack pineapple, coconut and mangosteen in luggage, in a suitcase. Mango and other soft fruits are not allowed, but can be in an opaque carry-on bag inside with a box.

Fir-trees! I heard this about the airport, we were always lazy to carry a basket, so we put mangoes and pineapples in a suitcase. Turns out they did it right.

For fruits, we specially carry a bag, pack them and check them in luggage. Mangoes are in hand luggage, under things.
