Dan Kwian pottery village

by
Dan Kwian is a lovely village famous for its unique ceramics. It’s located about 15-20 km from Korat, on the road to Chok Chai (the road going to Do Home). The ceramics of Dan Kwian are made with black bronzed clay, coming from the Moun River. The ceramics are famous in the whole Thailand and they even sell them in Chiangmai, Bangkok and export them worldwide. In the province of Nakhon Ratchasima, Dan Kwian is famous and called the ‘pottery village’. To get good prices, you can the village and not buy on the main road. Prices are ridiculous but please, don’t put a small dwarf in your garden! However, the most beautiful shops are located ON THE MAIN STREET of Dan Kwian.
