Where to Shop - Packing & Shipping Chiang Mai is, quite simply, Thailand's major centre for quality handicrafts. The visitor need A major advantage of shopping in Chiang Mai is that the visitor may watch artisans working within the city and in several outlying villages, particularly along the Bo Sang-San Kampaeng road where, in genuine cottage industries, parasols, silk and cotton weaving, jewellery, wood-carving, silverware, celadon and lacquer ware are manufactured, and number among popular purchases.
Should you fall in love with a large wood-carving piece or a fragile ceramic work, you may want to consider enlisting the help of one of the packing and shipping services in Chiang Mai for the job of getting it home. There are over 30 such companies in Chiang Mai and most of them provide packing as well as shipping services. Many souvenir and handicraft shops can also arrange to have your purchase packed and shipped for you. Packing Shipping You have the options of sending your piece either by air or by sea, depending on your needs. On average, it takes about one week by air and two months by sea. The prices vary greatly, as air cargo prices are computed by weight, and sea cargo by the square meter. If you are sending a heavy piece, it is much more economical to send it by sea. If you do so, an agent contacts you when your piece arrives, or, for an extra fee, delivers it straight to your residence. The shipping cost for sea cargo varies depending on the destination and size of the piece. Insurance Buying Agents |

Visitors to Bo Sang will see literally hundreds of designs and sizes ranging from the miniature to the gigantic.

Carved elephants, figurines and tableware number among other popular purchases.
