being the Malay Peninsula.\u003cbr\u003eSouthern Thailand, located here, experiences slightly different weather.\u003cbr\u003eDue to monsoon winds from the southwest (Pacific) and northeast (Indian Ocean),\u003cbr\u003ethis region has a longer rainy season and a shorter dry season—only about two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrajood is the name of a grass that grows in the hot and humid marshlands of this southern region of Thailand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThailand experiences frequent flooding due to its heavy rainfall,\u003cbr\u003eand in some years, Krajood plants are swept away or damaged, leading to poor harvests.\u003cbr\u003eAs demand for Krajood baskets rises both within Thailand and internationally,\u003cbr\u003esecuring raw materials has become a growing challenge for artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Krajood weaving introduced here is mainly produced in provinces on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula,\u003cbr\u003efacing the Gulf of Thailand—such as Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat,\u003cbr\u003ePattani, and Narathiwat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis item ships from Japan.
