ThaiCraft is a non-profit organisation that was established in 1992 to work with artisan groups, help them gain self-reliance and preserve Thailand's indigenous crafts. Although originally assisting these groups to sell their crafts to local markets only, ThaiCraft has been keen to expand into export markets as well. Traidcraft has been an important trading partner providing them with their first export orders and helping them in design development to achieve this.
"La-ong sells silver beads through ThaiCraft to support her three children and send her two sons, Ting and Tee, to school. Her mother, Kimhew, lives nearby with La-ong's father and younger sister. La-ong says: Thank you for buying traditional crafts from us. We have a job because of you".
