Frommer's Review
This small wooden house, located a few blocks east of Wat Chedi Luang in the Old City, showcases a superb collection of antique and new textiles from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, China, and Burma. Long contemporary silk-ikat scarves from Thailand's Northeast sell for 250B ($10) each, and gorgeous, colorful old silk sarongs from Cambodia and Laos go for 400B to 500B ($16 to $20). You won't find anything near this quality in the Night Market, but look around here first for a rough idea of prices and be sure to bargain there.

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.
