Chiang Mai Out
The people of Chiang Mai are famous
as skilled craftsmen who produce handicrafts,
which refl ect their customs. The rich environment
and rural lifestyle has inspired local artisans to
produce a diverse range of artifacts that include
wood carvings, basketry, silverware, ceramics,
and woven cloths. Skilled craftsmen have not only
transformed local raw materials into household
objects, but have also created meticulous works
of art for local rituals and religious ceremonies.
The natural environment and the charm of
the Chiang Mai culture with its unique festivals
attracts many visitors. Local craftsmen no longer
produce things as practical items to serve their own
needs. Today, the artifacts for sale are decorative
souvenirs produced by a large handicrafts industry
which has grown with tourist and export demand.
The charm of Chiang Mai not only draws
visitors throughout the year, but also entices many
people from other places to settle down or seek
their living in Chiang Mai. As a result, there has
been a large growth in the numbers of hotels,
resorts, golf courses and other businesses helping
to serve visitors and residents alike. Chiang Mai
then slowly grew in cultural, trading and economic
importance to its current status as the unoffi cial
capital of northern Thailand, second in importance
only to Bangkok.
Moreover, agro-industries have encouraged
the introduction of a wider variety of marketable
crops. The net result has been a marked reduction
in the amount of land under wet-rice farming,
the traditional basis of the old rural culture of
the valleys.
