Borderline Shop

Mae Sot


This long-running shop sells arts and crafts made by refugee and ethnic-minority women; the profits go back into a women’s collective and a child-assistance foundation. The upstairs art gallery hosts local painters, and the house is also home to a tea garden and cookery course.
