Handicrafts

Traditional souvenirs

Thailand has a rich history of producing high-quality painting, carving and weaving, so handicrafts make the ideal memento of a visit.

Items on sale range from life-sized carved elephants to tiny hilltribe dolls no bigger than your finger. Ceramics, lacquerware and silverware are other popular purchases.

Chiang Mai in the north is the main centre of handicraft production, though you’ll also find them on sale in places like Chatuchak Market.
