Behind the CRAFTs

With the tittle of “Meet the People Tour”, we (TTC) have one more time to welcome Traidcraft customer group here is Chiang Mai and spent half day trip to Mea Ka Pyiang where they met some Karen Producers. A group was led by Thai Craft (Bangkok) with net work arrangement of Traidcraft UK and Phu Phiang Tour Company.

This group has special interest in visiting northern Thailand, especially craft producer groups in villages to see their life and working process. It is also known that some will present about what they have seen here in Thailand when they return back home.

Many of us are mentioning what the handicraft look likes and how the quality is but we forget sometime to dig up and see who make it and where it comes from. It is the main purpose of the tour group to meet the people behind the products. In other words, it is opportunity to feel the real life of craft producers in villages.
