Factory Location ?

[erg]

My wife sells on the nightbazaar in Chiang Rai, she sells wooden birds, wit a sort of a propelor, wich is made by hand by ourself, the birds we buy in Chiang Sean, where hundreds of people sell those birds.

Nobody wants to tell her were to buy those birds, now we are paying toooo much.

So if there is someone who can help with the adress of the "factory", we would be very happy. For the proper adres we are happy to pay........cause it could bring us money.

Hope someone knows were i talk about

You might try going to Chiang Saen and tell people that you want to find someone who can carve some wooden fruit for you and you need alot of them and do they know who could do this for you. Also don't ask the people selling the birds first...ask people at the hardware stores first...or ask around at the customs office since maybe they are imported.

A interesting method I use and it might come as a complete surprise is....money. I found handbag manufacturers this way and it can be fun. Find the largest vendor you can and just offer them between 500 and 1000 baht to introduce you to the person they buy them from. Go visit them, with an introduction and increase the money for the next introduction. For my handbag manufacturer it took five introductions and about 15,000 baht. Start with a big vendor so you can compare quality and you have the chance of cutting out one or two levels of the supply chain. Always remember that there is an amount of money that will take you one step closer to the factory. If you hit a wall, go back to the last successful step and get a new introduction as the first recommendation was a dead end.

You have a very good chance of ending up one step away from the factory. I dont want to go into the reasons for that here but in thailand that should be considered close enough, you will know when you get there. Dont try to cut that last person out if you catch my drift, might be bad for business.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.
