Silk and silver workshops

Visit traditional craft workshops and see artisans at work

Half day On request

Overview

Visit artisan workshops around Chiang Mai, with a particular focus on silk and silverwork. Craftspeople demonstrate the different production stages, from traditional tools to decorative details, explaining techniques handed down through generations that remain part of northern Thailand’s cultural identity. The experience helps you distinguish authentic craftsmanship from industrial production and understand the time needed to make each piece. There is time to observe and ask questions, with no obligation to buy: the focus is on meeting local people and learning from their skills.
