Over 30 years ago, if you had a bird’s eye view over high mountain peaks in Mae Chan District, Chiang Rai Province, you would see nothing but the red earth of denuded hillsides as far as the eye could see, with only a few isolated spots of green.

The idea of the Thai Hill Crafts Foundation under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Srinagarindra was ignited in 1972 by the beautiful and unique ethnic handicrafts in Northern Thailand.
