Completely Chiang Mai

Just outside of the city is Prempracha's Collection (224 Moo 3 Chiangmai Sankampang Road; +66 (0) 5333 8540), a n Aladdin’s cave of Thai ceramics. Wandering through the giant warehouse-cum-showroom, you see samples of decorations that you've spied on shelves back home, but here they’re a fraction of the price. There are hundreds of pots, vases, flatware, sculptures and other ceramic designs on display here. An ideal end-of-holiday gift-buying destination.
