Each month we will feature the Hottest Sellers at Thai Artisan

Our first "Hot" Piece is this serene Ayathaya style teak wood Buddha Head. Incredibly tactile, hand carved with skill, and highly polished. It is easy to see why so many people have fallen for his charms. Standing 36cm tall, the back of the Buddha's head is flat, making it easy to position anywhere. The base plinth makes the whole piece nice & stable

Delivered anywhere in the world for under $40 USD, this charming Buddha Head would make a pefect gift, or why not spoil yourself

Coconut Wood


Environmentally friendly, coconut wood is an attractive alternative to precious indigenous hardwoods. It is not expensive and can be used as any other wood.

The coconut palm is a monocotyledon; the hardwood comes from the outside unlike a normal tree where it is cut from the centre. The softwood is used to make smaller items

Koh Samui has a long-standing tradition in crafting the coconut wood. It is turned on lathes, in village workshops, to produce pots, bowls, & exotic arts & crafts pieces



Traditionally the islanders would use these utensils in their own homes, now we are lucky enough to share their skills.

Sustainable coconut wood has a striking grain, tactile & organic it is a pleasure to look at, touch & use

Nothing looks better than coconut wood bowls & plates used in food presentation, for soups, salads, noodles & fruit. The wood is food safe, & should be washed by hand in warm soapy water. No dishwashers, or soaking in water.
