Wood Street
Soi Prachanarumit, Bangkok, Thailand 10800About
An unusual, less touristy, shopping experience is Prachanarumit Road, also known as Wood Street. This street is close to the river and was originally an area of many saw mills. Most of the small shops are open fronted and the smell of freshly carved wood, glue, and lacquer assaults the senses. Stores range from wood wholesalers, through furniture outlets to small factories where a frieze is crafted as you watch. Products include baseball bats, screens, friezes, frames, barrels, furniture, spirit houses, nameplates and ornaments. Shops will copy to order, and prices can be better than Chatuchak or export fairs.
