latex - is there a specialty shop in Phuket?
We want to bring pillows made of natural latex. Please tell me where to find. We heard that the factory is much more expensive than in stores, because. tourists are taken there.

Much. As far as I remember, in a special store for about a hundred dollars a pillow, in stores like Mike, BigC, Lotus about a thousand baht, that is, about a thousand rubles.

Thanks for the response, but I would like to know where you can still find them. Well, these are the stores.
If possible, please explain. We will be at Kata Beach. (For reference)

If I understand correctly, Phuket Town is a large shopping center, and Big C, Lotus, the festival, are these boutiques in it? Or differently?
Thank you.
Thank you.

and you can also ask in passing how the issue with the keys to the room is solved, in the hotel, if three non-native people live?

Ask for the keys according to the number of residents, they usually do not refuse.
How to find stores - tell the name of the taxi driver. But, I want to say right away that these pillows are not always and everywhere. I mean supermarket ones for 1000. By the way, be prepared for the fact that they will tell you that they (1000 each) are not correct, not like that, from some other latex, but correct - for 100 bucks :))) will be tell guides, as well as happy owners of hundred-dollar pillows. Believe it or not, the products are exactly the same. Bullshit can be slipped from small shops, latex must be smelled - in no case should it smell like rubber, the smell should be, as it were, a little "milky".
But I agree with VAS - they do not help with snoring. And from other problems - no more than an ordinary orthopedic pillow.

But, I think that there is still salvation from some kind of allergy to dust, there is nothing to dust there.
What is upsetting is this: in the nursery of green turtles they bought a magnet in the form of this same latex turtle. So for five years, the turtle in difficult kitchen conditions dried up, turned yellow and began to crumble. So I think, the pillow, of course, is not outdoors, but it can also begin to crumble :((Ours is seven years old, I haven’t picked it out of the inner pillowcases for a long time. Of course, you need to dry it not in the sun.

From Kata to Phuket Town you can take a municipal bus for 30 baht. It really goes long and slowly through Karon, but consider this trip a mini-sightseeing tour. Tell the conductor where you need to get off. Almost everyone gets off there. Festival and Big C is nearby, but the Lotus is a little further. But these buses run until 18 hours, keep in mind.

You can contact local travel agents - there are plenty of them around - they will give you a price list for latex - compare prices with factory and store ones - it may turn out to be more profitable. The latex is the same.

Not a secret. Near the hotel where we stayed: Kata Beach, Kata Sea Breeze Hotel. Quite by chance we met a wonderful guy Denis, who was our guide last year in the same Phuket. He is now in a small shop to the left of the hotel, right at the exit. There latex, different teas and a tour agency. By the way. all excursions were taken from him, everything is very decent, Russian-speaking guides everywhere, normal service.
