Weekly featured member of the Experience Mekong Collection: Heritage Craft & Café – Bangkok, Thailand

17 May 2019

Heritage Craft & Café helps preserve traditional Thai craft techniques. In an effort to prevent the loss of the kingdom’s cultural heritage, the Fair Trade organisation ThaiCraft aims to generate a fair income for village artisans and help preserve the diverse craft traditions in Thailand. The organisation also opened the Heritage Craft Shop & Café. In this coffee shop, customers cannot only enjoy locally produced brews but can also browse selected handcrafted goods.
