Handcrafted from raintree wood and painted with intricate characters, this striking game of strategy from Thailand is presented by Waraporn Khamsuk, featuring a box that houses 144 tiles painted with Chinese symbols in the traditional mah jongg style, often spelled "mahjong." Intended for up to four players, the objective of the game is to draw and discard tiles in order to craft a winning hand before the others do, with the player shouting "mah jongg!" when they win. A complex game of strategy and cunning, mah jongg is a game fit for beginners and experts alike, with a popularity stretching from East Asia to Western countries as well. The tiles are housed in a wood box for storage and travel.
Please note: This is the traditional Chinese-style mah jongg set, and not the American variant of the game.
Waraporn has grown her passion for wooden puzzle games into a successful workshop. She employs many artisans and has expanded her range from puzzles to wooden tableware.
Through personal dedication and increased access to the global market that Novica provides, Waraporn has been able to increase her sales. The steady income from Novica sales has been instrumental in providing the stability that she needs to continue moving-up.
Waraporn is grateful to be able to help educate her brother. He recently began to study at the university.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.

"My favorites are the wooden games because I grew up with them. They teach me to think, plan and concentrate, and I apply these skills in my everyday life."
