Just down the street from Fai Thong is another amazing fabric shop. Today I found at least 10 beautiful cotton fabrics to tailor into designer shirts. People who see shirts call them “masterpieces!” so I continue to enjoy taking the best Northern Thai cotton fabrics I can find and making shirts. Finding a nice fabric job can be difficult if you do not speak Thai and only have a few days in Chiang Mai. So, I recommend you visit Jin Heng Huad, 23-25 Kuang Men Road, Chiang Moi, Chiang Mai, 50300. You can phone them if you get lost, in Chiang Mai phone 053235707.

U-Raiwun Shop for ButtonsPosted by: Tim in chiang mai, chiang moi, warorot market, tags: buttonsAfter you have selected some nice Northern Thai (Lanna) village fabrics from Chiangmai Fai Thong you need to pick out some buttons. This can be challenging, so I recommend you go to a small shop on the second floor of Warorot Market called U-Raiwan. This is a very small shop with a very large selection of buttons (buttons in Thai are called: kradoom). |
