"I still fondly remember my first visit to Sankampaeng Road. I was so happy and so in spired with everything I saw that I made another 4 trip after that. I like everything about the handicraft factories on Sankampaeng Road : the fact that these skills have been passed down for generatations, the fact that these skills have been passed down for generations, the beauty of silver articles, the natural dyeing of thai silk, the delicate style of celadon ware, the skilful work done on teak wood… and above all, the kindness of the villagers that work in thesw factories. And even if I know that these factories are mostly famous among tourist, I love the fact that one single street gives you the opportunity to discover a total of eight different handicraft techniques.." The arts and crafts of any country are a livings examples of the region's rich past and heritage. With skills that are passes down for generations, the art of Thai crafts is a reflection of Thai people's creativity and ingenuity. Chiang Mai is probably the most well-know city in Thailand where old traditions and cultures still remain to be seen today, and its people have often been note for their gift of the country, they had time to invest in the creative and the beautiful, time to spend on the painstaking detail and the seemingly insignificant.
