Mae Fah Luang
Another handwoven tradition, these cotton textiles are produced as part of HRH the late Princess Mother's program to transition northern Thailand villages away from opium production. Bolts of fabric are sold alongside ready-to-wear women's designs that update this ethnic-hippie fabric into new millennium styles.

Plan Creations
If Lego went organic, you'd have a pretty close approximation of Plan Creations' imaginative wooden toys, made from rubber trees. To fill that lingering Christmas list, there are blocks, pull-along alligators and play sets (like Noah's Ark and all the critters) targeted at children aged three to ten.

Phu Fa
Gifts with a cause make that fuzzy feeling fuzzier. This new outlet sells products from HRH Princess Srindhorn's economic development program for rural villagers. The Thai-made products are mainly kid-friendly: notebooks, change purses and handwoven Karen textiles.
