Fodor's Expert Review Baan Tawai Village
Beyond the Old City
Crafts
Four kilometers (2½ miles) after the turnoff from highway 108 to Baan Tawai, lies this community of workshops dealing in antiques and handicrafts. Expect to see teak, mango, rattan, and water hyacinth being worked into attractive and unusual items. If you end up buying a heavy piece of teak furniture, the dealer will arrange for its shipping.
