Why Thailand ?

For the moment, the most active country in BAMBOO is China, but they produce mainly parquet/flooring.
With the BIG quantity requirements which goes with HUGE production capacities.

Here in Thailand, we can produce smaller quantities with
Assurance that no harmful product is used in treatment/ gluing/ coating, etc…
Culturally, the Thai craftsmen are proud of beautiful, and of highest standard products.
The Thai worker really do have an artistic approach to their work, and are proud of their realizations.
And last, but not least, our project was approved by the B.O.I. (Board of Investment) which does encourage us.
