Handicrafts found in Nakhon Si Thammarat are believed to be one of their kinds and hence are difficult to find in other parts of Thailand. There are two main areas in Nakhon Si Thammarat which are deemed perfect if one is looking for local handicrafts. In case one is in search of silver, gold, brass and niello- one shall visit Tha Chang Road, which runs on the other side of Sanam Na Muang and in parallel to Ratchadamnoen Road.
Another place is called Wat Phra Mahathat for it has many stalls which sell things from shadow puppets to brass to hand-made baskets. In addition to this, there is also a night market near the train station, but this mostly consists of food stalls.
