Review of Anongporn

This is one of the best shops for older hill-tribe crafts, particularly for textiles--though the wares are a little dusty. Their selection seems almost endless: intricately embroidered Hmong collars, colorful Akha jackets, baskets, and bags, Mien coats, and a small selection of silver jewelry (belts, bracelets, necklaces, and silver beads). The quality of their old and new goods seems to be higher than what you find at the typical market stalls, yet prices are comparable. Used appliqué and embroidered jackets sell for 800B to 2,500B ($32 to $100).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
