Mr Stephen Salmon and Sabeena Ahmed
In a recently restored building in one of one of the oldest pats of Bangkok, the Heritage Craft Shop and Café is a beautiful respite from the heat and a wonderful place to conduct to some fair trade retail therapy.
Conveniently located in the old city of Bangkok near (Rattanakosin Island).
The Heritage Craft and Cafe is a treasure trove of lovingly hand crafted fair trade gifts have been selected by its founder Mr Stephen Salmon.
Highly recommended the gorgeous interior has been lovingly restored.
The cafe serves freshly brewed fair-trade coffee or tea and yummy chocolate cake.
The shop is also the office of ThaiCraft Fair Trade, which has been operating since 1992.
Mr Salmon has spend 40 years working with over 60 different producer groups from around the country.

ThaiCraft began in 1975 as Hilltribe Sales at the International Church of Bangkok. These volunteer-run events at International School Bangkok's former downtown campus operated until 1992.
In August of that year the ThaiCraft Association became an independent development organisation, For the first year only, small start-up administration grants were received from Dutch (ICCO) and British (ODA/Oxfam) funding agencies. By retaining a small share of sales revenue, ThaiCraft soon became and has remained a financially self-sufficient organisation.

Thank you so much for reading my blog and please continue to support fair trade producers.
Many thanks to Mr Salmon for taking time out of his schedule to talk with me again.
I wish him every success and happiness in his new endeavor.
I certainly hope he is awarded an MBE soon for his tireless work for fair trade and social and trade justice.
Much love, regards and respect
Sabeena
