Thailand boasts rich artistic traditions and the local craftwork industry is one such example. Many of the skills required for craftwork have been passed down from generation to generation and these products are sold at street side markets and stalls in Bangkok as well as in the city’s more plush shopping malls. The materials sourced to make these products are found locally and are inexpensive; they include palm leaves, wicker and coconuts. Travellers in search of a unique sightseeing experience can embark on Bangkok cruises such as the one provided by Anantara Cruises Thailand. Taking guests to a variety of cultural and historic sites along the Chao Phraya River, this luxurious Bangkok cruise tour offers a truly memorable holiday adventure.
