M: It's really amazing how many colors there are in these Thai silks?
W: These are our new designs.
M: Oh, I don't think I've seen this combination of colors before.
W: They're really brilliant, aren't they?
M: Quite dazzling! May I have samples of the new color combinations?
W: Yes, of course. But aren't you going to place an order?
M: We order them regularly, you know, but I do want our buyer who handles fabrics to see them.
W: Have you looked at the wood and stone carvings? Did you like them?
M: Oh, they aren't really what I'm looking for.
W: What do you have in mind?
M: That's the trouble. I never know exactly until I see it. I usually have more luck when I get away from the tourist places.
W: Out in the countryside you mean.
M: Yeah, exactly. Markets in small towns have turned out best for me.
W: You're more interested, then, in handicrafts that haven't been commercialized.
M: Yes, real folk arts, pots, dishes, basket ware — the kinds of things that people themselves use.
W: I'm sure we can arrange a trip out into the country for you.
M: I was hoping you'd say that.
W: We can drive out of Bangkok and stop whenever you see something that interests you.
M: That would be wonderful! How soon could we leave?
W: I can't get away tomorrow. But I think I can get a car for the day after.
M: And would we have to come back the same day?
W: No, I think I'll be able to keep the car for three or four days.
M: Wonderful! That'll give me time for a real look around.
