Handicrafts Portrait
Thailand, a great destination to shop
Thailand offers shopping-lovers unparalleled options. Apart from an extensive selection of locally-produced unique goods, there’re quality imported items from around the globe. Handicrafts in Thailand are goods of internationally acclaimed cottage industries, and superb craftsmanship, distinguish these products.
Shopping in “The Land of Smiles” is an adventurous activity in itself. From ultra modern shopping plazas and huge department stores to bustling flea markets and road-side merchants where bargaining is a must, even visiting tourists with the strongest will-power will certainly find something suitable. The department stores offer goods at fixed prices, but at many other spots bargaining is very common. In general, visitors can purchase a product at a price 10 to 50 percent lower than the asking rate.
It all depends on the shopper’s bargaining skills and the merchant’s mood. But bear in mind, Thai people appreciate a sense of humour as well as good manners. You’ll not solely get a discounted price with a broad smile and patience, but you will enjoy shopping as an art as well.
Each province in Thailand is home to its own local handicraft that is often sought after by travellers from Bangkok and worldwide destinations. One could create a list containing countless items, but to simplify things, a regional list should include the following. Northern Thailand is most famous for its locally-made handicrafts, from brightly coloured hand-painted umbrellas and lifelike portrait paintings to wood carving and from ethnic jewellery to lacquer-ware and silverware.
Chiang Mai with its vibrant Night Bazaar attracts huge crowds of shoppers year-round. This atmospheric night market offersa great selection of all the northern goods mentioned above, and of course, you should bargain for the best price. Visitors strolling around the busy market will certainly notice the many skilled portrait artists. It is rewarding watching some of these portraitists in action, creating lifelike charcoal pencil drawings and oil colour portraits right onsite.
Portraits from photos have become popular with those people wishing to purchase a unique and everlasting art gift. Customers can choose from black and white charcoal pencil sketches, oil colour portraits and pastel colour portrait paintings. Objects that portrait painters in Chiang Mai immortalise on paper and canvas include: pets, newborns, celebrities, religious figures, wild animals, families, flowers and rural landscapes.
