If you're buying a lot of teak furniture, don't buy in Phuket. Head up north and buy where all the Phuket shops buy from and save yourself a bundle of money. Doesn't most younger teak crack in Europe unless some sort of oil is applied on a consistent basis?

Hang Dong is a good place but you really need to find a place that uses kiln-dried lumber which is difficult to find in Hang Dong.  I wouldn't recommend purchasing teak furniture in Phuket unless "money is no object".

The reason the lumber cracks is because the moisture content is too high. I think you'll discover that the oil will not help. There are furniture outlets east of Chiang Mai towards Bosang which use kiln-dried lumber & good quality but very expensive.

Good luck!
