Souvenirs at Orchid Garden Khaolak

Many foreign guests, who come to visit the Orchid Garden, buy an orchid plant to place it in their hotel room or hang it on the verandah of their bungalow to enjoy the beautiful flowers during their stay in Khaolak. Other guests are interested in souvenirs that are related to orchids or different from the usual ones and easier to take home than orchid flowers.

Therefore, a small shop is attached to Orchid Garden Khaolak, filled with some nice souvenirs from all over Thailand: small artificial orchids that are looking so similar to the real ones that some visitors at first glance do not believe they are artificial. They are made from 'Japanese Clay'.

Nice and inexpensive gifts are floating candles in the shape of different orchid flowers. They produce a light fragrance when burning and it is easy to handle them, as they can be burnt in a cup of water.

'Miss Udorn Sunshine', the only perfume in the world that uses orchids as raw material, is also on sale. This perfume is a very special gift and a typical reminder to your holiday in Thailand.

There is also a small selection of colourful 'Orchid Silk' that is handwoven in small villages in Thailand's Northeast and in Laos. Chose your favorite colour and pattern for sewing a shirt, skirt or costume.

For sure, beautiful orchid hybrids are available as well as some native orchids that we successfully grew from seeds. However, it might not be allowed to import certain species into some foreign countries. In this case our orchid bottles are the better choice. They are grown from seeds in a sterile bottle and therefore exempted from any CITES regulation. They contain 4 plants and normally there is a choice of 5 or 6 different species available. As they are in a sterile bottle, it normally does not cause problems to take them home. Each bottle comes with a detailed instruction for care of orchid seedlings in English, French, German, Swedish, Czech and Russian language. To download, please click here (pdf file 168 KB).
