Taekee Taekon

Taekee Taekon (pronoucned takeh takone) is a lovely shop specializing in textiles from all over Thailand. A longtime running shop in a neighborhood full of come and go, this is one of Bangkok's "hidden" shopping gems. You can buy some decent silk here, along with plenty of other arts and crafts, and there will certainly be something here that can make anybody's souvenir list. Located in a traditional old home fronted by bamboo paneling along artsy Phra Athit Road, this shop is a bit more refined than your average Khao San souvenir joint. Home accessories are available along with the various silk and fabric offerings, and the postcard selection is of the finest quality, with some great black and white prints available showing off a stylish side of Thailand.
