The exquisite needle works by the Hmong hilltribe people in Northern Thailand owe their inspiration to their surrounding nature and the cubical shapes of things in their daily life which are reflected on their elaborate ethnic tribe costumes. Ratana Yingyotmongkonsan, 22, a Hmong fabric designer from Chiang Mai's Doi Pui, has developed the old Hmong fabrics into original and classic bags which are much sought after by Thai and foreign enthusiasts of hill tribe fabrics. You will observe an explosion of Hmong bags on sale either at the Sunday's Walking Street or other shopping spots around Chiang Mai, but Ratana’s regular buyers mentioned to me that none of the bags is similar in qualities and designs.

If you travel along the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai on Highway 1035, plan to make a stop-over at the Wieng Kalong village to discover another page of history of the Lanna Kingdom at this small and serene village. The village of Wieng Kalong in the Wieng Pa Pao District of Chiang Rai has been well known to antique ceramic collectors around the world for more than four decades, but the village itself has attracted few visitors. So the local community is reviving and promoting the high quality Wieng Kalong ceramic reproductions in order to attract more collectors and tourists.

Simple but elegant was my first impression on this silk and cotton clothes shop named "Kao Tok" situated on Tha Pae Road. From bright colours to light and dark tones, the shop displays ladies' silk and cotton clothes designed by a Japanese couturier who has had long years of experience in the garment business in Japan prior to working in Chiang Mai.
