From Lan Na  

"The Land of a Million Rice Fields" 

and Thailand's Handicrafts Capital - Chiangmai,

Welcome to a world of Hand Made Products

Over the centuries, since the Lan Na Kingdom was formed in the 13th Century AD, many different ethnic groups have settled in what is now Northern Thailand.  They have brought with them a wide variety of traditions, cultures, skills and cuisines.

All blending into a unique style that is Lan Na Thai

From traditional handicraft clothing, household goods, and toys, to fragrant herbs & spices, and more recent collectibles such as stamps and books by foreign authors expatriated in the north of Thailand; you'll find a huge range of gifts and practical items at GazLanNaThai.com

Today, the myriad skills of local craftsmen are finding new expression in modern materials such as casting resins, leading to an explosion of new products assisted by the growth of, and interaction with, tourists arriving here.  Some such products available in our catalogues are high-tech fishing lures and miniature buildings for scale modellers such as railway & wargames enthusiasts.

New Webstore now Open

We've spent the last six months preparing the back office of an all new GazLanNaThai website and online store.  It's now almost ready for filling the shelves and we're pleased to announce that it's now ready for you to take a sneak peek at the all-new look, and a far better shopping experience.

Right now there are not many products in it, but you'll see it start to fill up over the coming weeks, and the last few features and info pages being added.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas that you think would improve the new shop, please don't be shy - the home page of the store features several ways to contact us, and pass on your thoughts.

As we add products, if you've bought any of them before, please be sure to add a written review of what you thought of them - there's a link to the right hand side of every page where you can add a review.

We look forward to seeing you in the shop.

 What's New? 

- 2008 - Our new webstore is almost complete, and we've started migrating manufacturers and products across to it.  From February 2008, you will be able to purchase faster and more easily within the webstore than you could on the old site-presentation.  

We'll also be able to offer a far wider range of products, with keener pricing, and more accurate shipping costs than previously.  The functions in the new webstore also allow us to offer more payment options, and a range of shipping solutions side-by-side, providing you with enhanced service, and more information before, during, and after your purchasing.  

Please take a minute or two to explore the new webstore and pre-arrange your user registration.

- 2008 - Our Long Range Logistics model and wargaming ranges will be getting their own website and webstore.  We've already reserved the website address at www.LongRangeLogistics.com and as soon as we have the GazLanNaThai new webstore up and running, we'll be building and configuring the new LRL site and store.  In the meantime, you can still buy the LRL ranges here at GazLanNaThai.
