Weekly featured member of the Experience Mekong Collection: Thai Tribal Crafts Fair Trade – Chiang Mai, Thailand

 

Thai Tribal Crafts Fair Trade has a huge selection of reasonably-priced traditional crafts sourced from the various indigenous people groups of Thailand. It was impressed to learn that all their products are designed and produced locally. This is an organisation that creates a sustainable opportunity for its employees and suppliers. Thai Tribal crafts trades as a Fair Trading Organisation through providing development opportunities for the tribal peoples of Northern Thailand so that they can have a better life. Seven Hill tribes of Northern Thailand are involved in the project: the Akha, Hmong, Karen, Lahu, Lawa, Lisu and Mien groups, as well as many women working in Chiang Mai.
