Batik Dyes
Batik dyes are sold at Somjai #3 art supply store across from Poh Chang art college on Tripet Road, near The Old Siam. Johan Batik Colors are cold reactive dyes in powder form. A little plastic 10 gram jar is 55 baht, a larger jar is 400 baht.
It’s on the Nancy Chandler map as “Art Supplies at Somchai’s three stores,” however in Thai it’s written and pronounced Somjai with a “j” sound.
Somjai #3 also has the paper we use for paper piecing quilts. It’s called “kradad bank” meaning “bank paper.” A pack of A4 paper is 110 baht.

I have been wanting to do batik but I am unable to get hold of cold water dyes in the Philippines were I come from. Because of your blog I was able to get hold of johan dyes in Somchai. A very good store with a good choice of art supplies. I was also able to get resist wax and a couple of cantings as well as good quality water colors and brushes much cheaper than Philippine prices. Thank you so much
