Bangkok Handicrafts for Decorating Your Home
If you are spending a holiday in Bangkok, Thailand soon, it will be the perfect opportunity for you to update your home decor with beautiful handicrafts from this exotic country. Thailand boasts of highly skilled craftsmen whose skills have been handed down to them through generations.
Upon landing in Bangkok, the perfect place to start shopping for decorative items would be Banglamphu. Here you will find the most charming baskets, exquisitely carved wooden statues, and gorgeous fabrics. One type of cloth that you should not leave Bangkok without is their world-renowned Mat Mee silk. It is famous for its unique and beautiful patterns. You can buy it by the yard or as a finished product in the form of bed linens or clothes.
If you truly want to experience the pulsating rhythm of Bangkok living, visit Chinatown. Here you will find all your five senses invigorated by the different sights, tastes, textures, and aromas. One item you should look for is lacquerware in the form of trays and ornamental boxes. Thai craftsmen are especially known for their techniques in lacquering. Wood is repeatedly coated with lacquer, then painstakingly hand-painted with intricate designs. The result is an enviably beautiful piece of art that you will surely find suitable for your consul table back home.
For the ultimate shopping experience, the Chatuchak weekend market is the place you must visit. It is the largest market in Thailand, offering over 13,000 stalls to choose from. What is the best thing about this weekend market is that you can haggle with vendors for the lowest possible price! Surely, you will leave with truckloads of Bangkok treasures!
