What travelers say:
🪟🎁 Papacraft Crafts/Coffee Shop
Business hours: Saturday and Sunday 9:00-19:00 Weekdays 9:00-17:00 (Closed on Wednesdays)
Recommendation index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A very inconspicuous shop! Super easy to miss! Located on Talad Gao Road (also known as Old Market Road, there is a night market every Saturday and Sunday). The owner is a translator who loves handicrafts, but he had to give up his hobby due to his career. It was not until 20 years later that the old man, encouraged by his youngest son, resumed his love of handmade creations. Now he has become the founder of the leather brand Papacraft. His works were exhibited at the 2019 Korea International Handicrafts Exhibition (so courageous 🥹)
There are many leather products, pottery, rope products, fabrics, perfumes and other handicrafts for sale in the store. You can also go through the store to the backyard, where you can sit quietly and taste coffee, and watch the craftsmen in the workshop making handicrafts through the window! It's really interesting! If you are interested in handicrafts, you might as well come here for a stroll, maybe you can have unexpected gains.

Is it a name that makes people imagine? This building is indeed of great significance. It was built in 1908 by Moung Ngwe Zin, a Burmese teak merchant. It is said to have been the main store for selling Western goods to the Lampang employees of BBTC, the most famous British teak logging company. Today, it has become a building that combines a gallery and a coffee shop, and is known as one of the most beautiful buildings in Thailand.
Like Papacraft, it is located on Talad Gao Road. The overall building is very distinctive. There are two floors in total (the second floor was not accessible when I went there). Unlike Thai buildings, it is mixed with Burmese architectural style. It should be noted that the building and the cafe are only open on weekends! Don't miss it! #泰国旅游攻略 #小NICHE发现社 #Chiang Mai旅游 #咖啡旅行 #泰国旅行
