Message:: [QUOTE="Toba, post: 426062, member: 9023"]Hi, AuDragon. Thanks for the response. We've probably been to some of the same markets. I went to Laos many times but never had much luck there. Believe it or not, rural Thailand was always a great place to search for beads back in the day. I also collected Thai amulets at one time and had over 200 before I gave them away. Here are some odds and ends I just took a picture of: the brown patterned one are "pyu" I think they're called, from Tachilek, Myanmar (copies I'm sure) / the green one I found in Thailand, wish I knew more about it/ the black and tourquoise glass beads I posted in another thread (love these so much)/  the inlaid one I found in Ladakh/ and the ceramic one is from Malaysia ( wish I could date this one too.) Most of these I found more than twenty years ago. I get the feeling there's not much real stuff left out there anymore. The exception might be Penang, Malaysia. If you ever go, visit the flea market at Lorong Kulit. I still find neat stuff there...[ATTACH=full]149048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]149049[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
