Here in Phuket we cater for all nationalities so we have to think of different things guest like,
If you have Asian guest you need a rice cooker, English like a big cup of tea in the mornings so have some big mugs.
We have different coffee machines, the most expensive one we bought "Gaggia" espresso doesn't seem to get used it's sitting on the top of the fridge.
We have blenders they seem to get used a lot guest like to make Smoothies, and local fruit is cheap here.
Hair dryers are a must we get asked do we have them,
