Why do some people say you should never buy bird’s nests from Thailand?

Bird’s nest is actually the saliva of a swallow. But it is very rich in nutrients. The small bird's nest is rich in sugars, organic acids, free amino acids and the characteristic substance of swallows - sialic acid. It has the functions of nourishing yin, moistening dryness and replenishing qi. It can be used as food and medicine and is deeply loved. Some wealthy and high-end people like it, so its price is also relatively expensive.

The main producing areas of bird's nests are in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and other areas of the Southeast China Sea. Indonesia's bird's nests are of the highest quality and largest production because the environment there is very suitable for swallows to live.

Thailand’s bird’s nest accounts for about 3% of the world’s total, which is far less than that of Malaysia and Indonesia. But I believe that when many tourists go to Thailand, they will see that bird's nests are sold at cabbage prices in Thailand. With such cheap bird's nests, we have to wonder whether these bird's nests are fake or shoddy products?

In Thailand, bird's nests seem to be a very common thing, so many people who travel to Thailand want to take some Thai bird's nests back with them. But some professionals say you should never do this. So why is this?

Because some professionals said that the abundance of bird's nests in Thailand may be just an illusion. Because Thailand’s imitation bird’s nest technology is very advanced and can even look fake, people who don’t really understand bird’s nests should not buy bird’s nests in Thailand easily. Although Thailand also builds swallow buildings to attract swallows to produce bird's nests in the building, the cost is high, and profits will only take a few years, so many bird's nests are fake. And if you want to bring bird's nests back to China from Thailand, it is impossible to pass the customs. At present, you are only allowed to bring some canned bird's nests or dried bird's nests.
