Of all Chiang Mai’s cultural achievements, none are more remarkable than their handicrafts. Chiang Mai is, quite simply, Thailand's major centre for quality handicrafts. The artisans produce an extraordinary range of quality products which are invariably the first choice among shoppers. Silverware, lacquerware, silkand cotton products, ceramics, parasols and jewelry are available.

On this tour a visit is made to the San Kampaeng district, heart of the silk and cotton home industries, to witness the fascinating process of making and weaving these popular fabrics. Then we continue to Bor Sarng, the umbrella village, where the delicate Thai paper umbrellas are produced and hand painted. Last but not least, are stops to observe the intricacies of lacquerware, silverware, and teak wood furniture.
