Baan Tawai at Chiang Mai
{{#switch:|accept={{afc a}}|mm={{afc mm}}|#default={{afc r}}}}
City of Chiang Mai (http://www.chiangmainews.com), after Bangkok the second largest city in Thailand (with population only under 200.000, comparing to Bangkok's close to 7 Mio people), is the lands' "northern capital". With many typical features of local culture, unusual leisure activities, lanna (as this part of country is known) food (http://www.lannacafe.org), local markets and shopping, featuring special local items and handicraft or handmade items of great variety, Chiang Mai area is the must stop in Thailand for most of the tourist or business people who come to Thailand. Along with the beaches of south, 24-7 busy and awake, energetic Bangkok, with only 55 minutes long flight from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport (http://www.airportthai.co.th) Chiang Mai is easily accessible and it's visit completes the journey of major destinations in Thailand.
Leisure searchers in CM area can choose from options like elephant riding, rafting, or visit a center for extreme sports (http://www.chiangmai-xcentre.com). Anyone can become a shopper in Thailand easily. Typical shopping items for tourists are handicrafts, silk products, ceramics, carvings, wood products - they can be found in small shops and market places around the city. However, Baan Tawai with surrounding area and places along the way to village of Hang Dong, 15 minutes drive from the city by the south-bound highway, is the center for local handicrafts, ceramic and wood-art shops, or places selling antiques. Tourist come here to find cheap but interesting gift items - wooden toys, figures, vases, plates, carvings, ceramics, decorative objects and accessories. Some shops offer huge vases and pots, or different kinds of ceramics for garden or porch, or indoor display. Items of a higher historic or artistic value are often found available. Teak wood products have here a long tradition. Teak wood is the commodity of choice for craftsmen making wood carvings and also furniture makers. Antique furniture shops scattered around the area carry a lot of furniture from British colonial era (http://www.goldentriangle.co.th). The British colonized the neighboring Burma, along with other places around the region in the period of 1870s-1940s. They influenced the local architecture as well as the interior design.
Baan tawai does not need to be presented as a place for shopping only - it is a place which provides for the visitor an insight to local temporary and historic art, the wood - workmanship which has a long tradition here, along with a variety of other unusual items and products of the local craftsmen.
The author uses a few links in the article to favorite webs covering Chiang Mai information and places for Thai-typical arts. I believe along with other information in this article they will be useful for so many visitors who come to Chiang Mai all year round
