PHUANG MALAI: THE ULTIMATE FAIL-SAFE ETHICAL GIFT CHOICE
Phuang Malais are symbolic Thai gifts that have been traditionally offered for several centuries. They are given as a token of gratitude, respect, and to extend best wishes.
Whether it’s for professional purposes to honor VIP guests or to thank a teacher, offering a Phuang Malai will always be a memorable gift, whether it’s from foreigners to Thais or from Thais to foreigners.
Our premium Phuang Malais are presented in wooden boxes with a glass lid. We also offer more affordably priced Malais to accommodate smaller budgets.
It's a fail-safe gift choice and even more ethical since they are made by our Akha ladies in Chiang Rai

THE GAME-CHANGING IMPACT OF OUR CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
The success of our Christmas decorations has truly impacted the lives of these Akha women, whether it's improving their meals, modernizing their homes, or covering additional costs for their children's care.
In 2024, Abu Jor and Abu Jan are working full-time with us.
Ama Mishu, Api Minium, and Abu Anna work according to their availability or strength.
Ama Mishu (on the photo) continues to manage her pineapple and rice fields, for example, while Api Minium, our eldest, works at her own pace.
The 'Abu' ladies are now even able to send money to their families, marking a significant advancement.
