Fair Trade Culture

August 1st, 2007 by Amanda

In a small shop in northern Thailand, pieces of fabric made by surrounding hill tribes are collected, hand stitched, and sewn together to create unique styles for pants, skirts, shirts, dresses, bags, and shoes. The Kareang hill tribe resides in the surrounding mountains where they spend time skillfully hand sewing colorful threads together to create beautiful patterns and traditional art. Pai is a small village located in northern Thailand that has a relaxed and fresh atmosphere. Located in the mountains, travelers from all around come to experience this little piece of paradise for themselves. The streets are lined with many small foreign influenced cafes and clothing shops, along with the street vendors marketing local foods.
