Shopping / Hill-tribe Textiles
Hill-tribe
textiles are usually made of cotton and can be easily distinguished
by their bright colors, usually on a black background.
Often, hill-tribe textiles are richly embroidered and often
decorated by metal ornaments, especially by old silver coins.
In Bangkok,
hill-tribe textiles are available at the Hill Tribe Foundation
(Tel 251-9816) on the grounds of Srapatum Palace on 195 Phaya
Thai Road. The foundation which is under the patronage of the
Princess Mother, is open Mon-Fri, 9:00-17:00, Sat 10:00-13:00.
Aside from hill-tribe textiles, hill-tribe jewelry is also
available.
