This basket is woven from a type of grass called “Krajood” in Thai, which grows naturally around marshy areas.

The stalks are cut from the root, dried, and flattened before weaving. They are typically harvested from spring (around May) to summer (around August).
For larger baskets, longer stalks are needed, so harvesting is sometimes delayed to allow the grass to grow further before cutting.
The makers vary by region. In some villages, skilled weavers act as instructors and guide others, while in other places, families across three generations weave together.
It is common for baskets to be made in groups of about four to five people per village.


For most people, basket weaving is not a full-time occupation. It is usually done in between farming tasks such as rice cultivation, and most weavers belong to the older generation.
Although there are still few young weavers, the value of natural-material products like these is being rediscovered in Thailand, and more young people are beginning to take an interest in basket making.
This page introduces three sizes—S, M, and L—of tall, round-topped baskets made from Krajood grass.





















The glue applied to the surface of Krajood baskets helps prevent deformation,
reinforces the strength needed for daily use,
and reflects the wisdom of makers who are always thinking about how to craft more durable baskets.
The glue is thoroughly dried, but in rare cases,
people with sensitive skin may experience redness or irritation upon contact.
If you are concerned, placing a cloth inside the basket
or avoiding direct skin contact may help.



This Krajood basket features a tall, clean shape with a stable silhouette.
Use it to store rolled-up rugs or mats when not in use—it also works well as a storage basket.
Please choose the size that best fits your needs.

<About Krajood Weaving in Thailand>
Thailand has a tropical climate with a rainy and dry season.
The country’s shape is often compared to an elephant’s head, with the “trunk” being the Malay Peninsula.
Southern Thailand, located here, experiences slightly different weather.
Due to monsoon winds from the southwest (Pacific) and northeast (Indian Ocean),
this region has a longer rainy season and a shorter dry season—only about two months.
Krajood is the name of a grass that grows in the hot and humid marshlands of this southern region of Thailand.
The locals call it “Krajood” in Thai.
Thailand experiences frequent flooding due to its heavy rainfall,
and in some years, Krajood plants are swept away or damaged, leading to poor harvests.
As demand for Krajood baskets rises both within Thailand and internationally,
securing raw materials has become a growing challenge for artisans.
The Krajood weaving introduced here is mainly produced in provinces on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula,
facing the Gulf of Thailand—such as Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat,
Pattani, and Narathiwat.
