Chatraporn Thai Silk Frommer's Recommended

Frommer's Review
This large shop has a particularly good collection of locally made cotton and silk garments (most incorporating panels of hill-tribe embroidery or appliqué work), plus old hill-tribe clothing and jewelry, and newly woven bags and pouches. Several items are sized and fit better than the big, one-size tops and slacks sold elsewhere. Cool, cotton dresses adorned with hill-tribe textile bodices cost 700B to 1000B ($28 to $40). Newly made evening jackets of mutmee, Thai silk ikat, start at 1,200 ($48).

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
