Where is a market for craft materials?

[properjob]

I'm guessing that handicraft materials are all clustered in one market place. In Bangkok I know exactly where to go in Chatuchak for coloured synthetic webbing that I use to braid straps for musical instruments, but I haven't found a good supply source in Chiang Mai. I'm looking for webbing like the ones in the picture. These are half-inch straps; they also come in three-quarters-inch sizes and even larger.

I'm guessing Chinatown. Does anyone know a specific street or store I should look?

Thanks in advance.

Ask for help from Chiang Mai Plastics. If they don't have this, they will know who does.

Thanks Suzanne. I Googled Chiang Mai Plastics, and that does look like a great place to start my search.

Chiang Mai Plastic don't have this webbing, and nor seemingly does any other shop in that area of Worarot market, which I scoured pretty carefully this afternoon.

At Chatuchak in Bangkok these straps are in an area of the market where all the other shops are selling army surplus webbing, belts, straps, boots, belt pouches, holsters and knife sheaths, etc. Does anyone know a market area specialising in that kind of stuff in Chiang Mai?
