3. Thai Handicrafts and Silk
Thailand’s intricate handicrafts and jewellery are made with skills and knowledge that have been passed down for generations.

However, with rapid modernization, crafting villages that were common back in the days, no longer remain open. Thankfully, Bo Sang Chiang Mai Handicraft Village still stands strong! You can visit factories to see how traditional Thai handicrafts, like their traditional umbrellas and silk, are made. Explore the streets to immerse yourself in Thai culture, and pick up some artisan handicrafts to bring home with you!
