Established in 1984 in Bangkok, Thailand Top
Crafts Co., Ltd., produces and exports worldwide Thailand
handicraftss, gifts and collectibles for wholesale and retail.
The more than 22,000 hand crafted items for home decoration and
gifts, that can be seen in our Bangkok show rooms, are made of wood,
ceramics, paper, cotton, bronze and bamboo to name a few. We use
natural raw materials, with most Thailand handicrafts models created by our French
designer.
The basic components of our products are made at
home by farmers and villagers under supervision of our
Top Crafts Quality Control
department. These components are then assembled in our factory
before being treated, colored, waxed, etc., depending on their
nature.
After passing our 4th and final QC check the
finished products are packed, bar-coded, and loaded in containers in
our own warehouse which is "under customs" (the container goes
directly from our warehouse to the shipping vessel deck with no need
to stop at the port).
Whether you want to launch a new line or take
advantage of our purchasing clout thanks to more than 20 years
experience in Thailand, Top Crafts Co., Ltd. is your ideal partner.

The "Wai"
in Thai Culture
The "Wai" is the Thai
way to greet and pay respect. A "Wai" is the equivalent of
handshake, bow or tip of the hat in other countries and
more. Each "Wai" says a slightly different thing, depending
on the occasion and social status of the people involved.
When a person "wais" he or she puts the palms together,
placing the fingers at chin level and bowing a bit.
|
A "wai"-ing is also a
wordless way to say "Sawasdee" (hello or good bye) and "thank
you". Thais use this gesture a lot.
A Thai "wais" a Buddha image, a religious shrine, a monk and a
person of high status. Exactly who and when to "wai" is,
however, strictly a matter of social etiquette learned from
childhood.
