Discovering Benjarong Porcelain at Chatuchak
During my visit to Bangkok in 2023, I spent time exploring the vibrant stalls of Chatuchak Market. One of my personal highlights was browsing the intricate Benjarong porcelain. These hand-painted pieces are a classic Thai craft, and finding them amidst the bustling market aisles was a rewarding experience for anyone interested in traditional souvenirs.
Pricing Guide for Benjarong Items
If you are planning to shop for these ceramics, it helps to have a general idea of the costs. Based on my observations during my trip, here is a breakdown of the pricing I encountered:
- Coffee cup and saucer set: Approximately 650 THB.
- Wine glasses: 480 THB each.
- Espresso cups: 350 THB.
- Oval plates (fully painted): 2,300 THB for the 14-inch size and 1,800 THB for the 12-inch size.
Please keep in mind that prices and stock availability can change, so these figures serve as a reference point from my 2023 visit.
How to Inquire and Locate the Shop
One of the most helpful tips I can share is that you do not have to rely solely on your visit to the stall to get information. The shop is quite accessible for digital inquiries; you can reach out to them via their Line account to ask about specific items or current pricing before you head to the market.
For those planning their route, you can find the shop’s location via Google Maps. Additionally, you can view their collection and stay updated by following their Instagram account. Having these resources saved made my shopping experience much smoother.
