Chiang Mai is a city of artists. There is no doubt after entering numerous crafts centers in prefectures with abundant assortment such as paintings, exquisite fabrics, umbrella, furniture, silverware and so on. Therefore, in January 2011, the security authorities in Chiang Mai were surprised that Chiang Mai's governing body began applying for creative city status with UNESCO as a joint effort by local authorities, Chiang Mai's community, Chiang Mai Not my college. To this end, efforts have been made to coordinate the various fields of the urban economy in order to promote hospitality, independent artists, human resources development, employment increase and art development from cottage operators.
Most travelers are in the city center, you can more easily get used to the more conveniently accessible night market and walking streets, but you may want to try Burn Tawai a little away. A village of OTOP (one Tambon One product, a program that encourages and sponsors Thai craftsmen). Located at Route 108 of Amphur Hang Dong, about 15 kilometers south of the city center, in recent years it has been streamlined into convenient "zones" such as shops, restaurants and cafés, but on the main street there is a furniture store there is. There are the most creative furniture and home decorations anywhere in the world: there are abstract trees, nymphs of delicate forests, chairs and sofas flowing through beautiful bamboo lanterns. Also, about such skill, material, artistic value, the price is a bit cheap. The only possible concern may have been transporting logistics, but purchasing a house or decorating a new house certainly worsened rather than visiting some Bahn / Tawai shops, It may cost more.
The next stop must be several inner zones. Zones 2 and 4 are particularly popular and will be lively with a small art gallery made of contemporary and traditional Thai style oils and acrylics. There are unique works of as little as $ 20. Zone 4 offers celadon ceramic, a small cafe with free Wi-Fi, a delicious bakery, a killer frappe coffee and a custom-made menu of traditional North Tai cuisine. The style of the product is generally unique to Chiang Mai, completely different from what is seen in other parts of Thailand (or other parts of Asia), the quality is consistently higher: Whittard of Chelsea ceramics In fact, is it made in Thailand, is it really made of Baan Tawai itself?
The area is somewhat apart from the convenience of the city, but there are eating and drinking shops passing through the village that exceeds the necessity of light lunch and breakfast. Pharmacies such as 7-11 and convenience stores also feel that drinks are needed quickly or are scattered about the zones when it is necessary to accumulate paying phone cards. The shopkeeper fairly priced the item, and salesperson and artist (or sculptor, or weaver) are often the same. Basalt, novelty candle, papier, mash, doll, tai silk etc. can be seen in the village as well. It is a perfect replacement for shopping therapy in an air-conditioned shop and there is no doubt that it will provide whatever you like.
