Tam Eng (Soi Ramanee 6, Phuket City)

If you love handmade products, this is the shop for you! Located in Phuket City on Soi Ramanee. All the articles are handmade crafts and many are made by charities and support organizations, such as the Life Home Project, which provides care and shelter for women and children with HIV/Aids living in Phuket. Products include tissue boxes, t-shirts, Thai silks, hats, ornaments and many more. Products come from all over Thailand. Necklaces and bracelets made with different types of stone are also featured in this shop. The shop may be a bit difficult to locate at first, so the easiest way is to take a bus or tuk-tuk into Phuket City from anywhere on the island, and from there, take a local tuk-tuk and tell the driver Soi Ramanee 6 (pronounced SOY, RAMA-NEE, SIX). If you need assistance getting there, please dial 076-214-537 for the owner and she can talk to your driver, or you can dial 087-8970-492 and they can talk to your driver in Thai to give directions to the shop.
