Thai traditional toys reflect village life and Buddhist festival culture: coconut-shell rattles and toys, hand-painted khon masks, wooden pull-along elephants and buffaloes, spinning tops from Southern Thailand (played competitively), and takraw balls of woven rattan. The Chatuchak market in Bangkok remains a living source of these traditions.
