This is woven basket made from a grass called “Kachū” in Thai, which grows wild around swamps.
On this page, we introduce rectangular-shaped “slim case” made of Kachū, in two sizes, small and medium.

The glue applied to the surface of Kachū baskets is a necessary process
that prevents the baskets from losing their shape and increases their strength as commodities.
It is also the wisdom of the makers who are always thinking about how to make a sturdy basket.

Other cutlery containers for forks, spoons, knives, etc.
It can also be used to hold stationery.

Socks, underwear, etc. can be folded, rolled up and placed side by side for compact and easy-to-see storage.

Please choose the size you prefer.

<About Thai Kachū work>

In terms of climate, Thailand belongs to a tropical climate where the year is divided into rainy and dry seasons.
The land of Thailand is sometimes said to resemble the face of an elephant.
The Malay Peninsula is the “nose” of Thailand.

The climate is a little different in southern Thailand,
where the monsoon blows from the southwest (Pacific Ocean) or northeast (Indian Ocean),
depending on the season.
The rainy season is longer and the dry season is shorter, lasting only about two months,
than in other parts of the country.

“Kachū” is the name of a grass found in the swamps of southern Thailand in that hot and humid environment.
The locals call it that in Thai.

In Thailand, with its high rainfall, flooding is a common occurrence.
This can cause “Kachū” to be washed away or damaged in some years, resulting in a poor crop.
The demand for “Kachū” baskets in Thailand and abroad is increasing,
and securing materials for making baskets has become a problem for the makers.

The “Kachū work” presented here is mainly located on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula
facing the Gulf of Thailand, such as Suｒat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Pattani, and Narathiwat.
