Our goal
Our goal is to provide quality home-decor and handicrafts from Thailand and the world, straight from the creators to our customers in North America.
What We Do
We serve as retailers, wholesalers and agents. We operate four brands, and through our connections, especially in Thailand, can help your organization source additional products.
The Pankesum Experience
Founded in 2011 by two friends who grew up in Thailand and now live on opposite ends of the world: Chiang Mai and San Francisco, Pankesum began as a way of showcasing northern Thai handicrafts. We had humble roots, starting off with a limited budget and selling at fairs in the Bay Area, before transitioning to online sales.
Our co-founders have learned from two of the finest business schools (UCLA Anderson / Chicago Booth) and worked in the finest businesses and organizations (PwC, Yahoo!, Amazon, and the US Marine Corps). We're proud to be veteran owned and operated. And we got started working with non-profits and small workshops in Thailand because of our other passions: travelling on a dime (throughout Southeast Asia and the world), and volunteer work in some of the several refugee camps in the area...
