Outstanding gadgets of 2023

In 2023, many companies restarted their production lines after enduring a long period of lockdowns. As a result, many wacky and useful gadgets emerged in the market once again. We are sure many of these gadgets will make great gifts for your loved ones (or yourself) and all can be bought in Thailand.

1. TP-Link Tapo P105 Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug

Most houses in Thailand are still not "smart" yet. This plug will easily transform any of your "dumb" electric sockets into a smart one that can be controlled via your phone. You can even schedule the plug to turn off or make it turn off when you leave the house.
