Hand-woven textiles are typical of traditional rural communities, and the craft flourishes especially in the northeast. The most famous fabric of the region is 'mat mee' silk, with production centered around Khon Kaen where there is a week-long annual silk festival in early December. Unlike other kinds of Thai silk, 'mat mee' is made from tie-dyed yarn, which permits the weaver to work distinctive, multi-coloured patterns into the design - truly a silk of rare distinction

What's more fascinating is the area behind Pahurat Road; an area about 200m by 100m, packed with stalls selling more of what's displayed in the main streets. In this labyrinth of narrow lanes, barely wide enough for a person to pass through, is the Pahurat textile market

Bangkok's Little India is well known for its wide range of textiles, silk, cotton, wool and cashmere along Pahurat Road, Triphet Road and Chakraphet Road. Besides textiles, these shops sell a wide collection of statues and pictures of Indian deities, Indian CDs, VCDs, bracelets, trinkets and sandals
