<p>A unique style of Thai silk, known as &#8220;<strong>Mat Mee</strong>&#8220;, is a handicraft traditional to the northeast region of the country.

<p>Thai cotton has gained an enormous reputation over recent years and is today as famous and as popular as silk. A fabric of fine texture and durable quality, Thai cotton is produced in a broad range of colours, prints and embroidered designs, and is found in a wide variety of goods from <strong>clothing to bedspreads</strong>, <strong>table linen</strong>, <strong>cushion covers</strong>, <strong>rugs</strong>, <a title="Hand Bags from Countryside Thailand" href="http://www.chonnabod.com/products-page/bag-and-shoes/hand-bag-oragne-tone"><strong>bags</strong></a> and more.</p>
<p>Notable among cottons products are hill tribe handicrafts and batik designs. Woven in traditional patterns by the tribal people of the North and typically displaying bold designs and often lavish embroidery, hill tribe cottons make and especially attractive buy. Difference in style but equally distinctive are original batiks crafted at several studios in Bangkok.</p>
