Ban Tawai
The atmosphere in Baan Tawai is very laid-back and relaxed, certainly not reminiscent of a tacky collection of souvenir stands. There are rustic restaurants to retreat to, plenty of traditional old wooden Thai houses to admire, some lovely show-gardens full of sandstone sculptures and lots of cute crafts at astonishing prices.Whether you are a buying agent looking for good suppliers or a tourist wanting to stock up on souvenirs, Baan Tawai is undoubtedly Chiang Mai's best area for picking up Thai crafts. You can watch the tradesmen and women in action, arrange packing and shipping for anything from small antique Buddhas to hand-carved wardrobes, and even request custom made items.
Open: Daily 10:00 - 18:00
