Dan Kwian Pottery

A few miles south of Korat is the "land of ceramics" at Dan Kwian. The village has become famous, at least in Thailand, for its pots made of fired clay from the banks of a nearby Moon river. The grandiose name actually describes a market of many small shops lining either side of a wide spot in the road.

I was pleasantly surprised at Dan Kwian to find that the shops had a wide variety of styles on offer. This is especially the case if you explore the shops around the parking area behind the stalls on the west side of the road. Each shop has their own style on display, so you can really explore each of them to find what suits your fancy.

We bought about half a dozen items in all on our first trip, filling up the trunk of the car. If the selection was a surprise, the prices were downright shocking. The smallest vase, approximately ten inches high, was just around USD 1.50 while the largest was less than USD 7.00. This is a fraction of what you will pay in a Bangkok tourist shop, if you can find this kind of thing there at all.
