Baan Tawai artisans village is well worth spending a half day, or longer, to look around - the variety of furniture, soft furnishings, 'antiques', decorations, toys, collectibles, souvenirs and memorabilia is, seemingly, never-ending. Most of what tourists see at The Night Bazaar comes from Baan Tawai and can be bought for significantly less, subject to haggling ability.

Here, the handicrafts are made, and available to purchase at wholesale prices directly from the factory outlets.

Sure, there is cheap stuff here and there, but a lot of it...
