Prison Products Fair underway in Phuket

SAPHAN HIN, PHUKET: There are only four days remaining in the 6th annual Prisoners Product Fair taking place at the central stage area at Saphan Hin.

A wide variety of sturdy, handmade products including tables, wardrobes, beds and baskets are on display.

Items made by Thai prisoners from the 14 provincial prisons in the southern region, as part of their vocational-skills training, are on sale at very reasonable prices.

There are 60 food shops and draft beer available at the fair, which runs from 9am to 10pm daily.

Thus far rainy weather has kept the crowds away, but the organizers are hoping for better weather and bigger crowds on the weekend.
