One stitch at a time.
Real income.

Absolutely. Running a crochet or knitting business from home in Thailand is completely legal and increasingly popular. No special licence or business registration is required for small-scale made-to-order handcraft sales. Thousands of Thai makers sell amigurumi, bags, hats, scarves, and home decor items through online channels. Suriya handles the digital side — your product catalog, order queue, deposit collection, and LINE OA marketing — so you can spend your time creating instead of managing messages across five different platforms.

The biggest mistake crochet makers make is pricing based on materials only. Your price must cover yarn cost plus your hourly labour rate. A typical amigurumi takes four to eight hours. If you value your time at one hundred fifty baht per hour and use two hundred baht of yarn, your minimum price should be eight hundred to fourteen hundred baht. Most Thai crochet sellers price amigurumi at five hundred to two thousand baht, bags at eight hundred to three thousand baht, and blankets at two thousand to six thousand baht depending on complexity and yarn quality.

Suriya replaces the mental juggling act with a structured production queue. Every order enters the queue automatically after deposit payment. Customers see their position in line and estimated completion date. You update status with a single tap — queued, in progress, completed, shipped. This eliminates the constant when is my order ready messages that interrupt your stitching time. You set realistic production timelines per item category and the system calculates delivery estimates automatically. When your queue is full, the catalog shows wait times so customers decide before ordering.

That is perfectly fine and actually a selling advantage. Limited production creates natural scarcity that drives higher prices and faster purchasing decisions. Suriya shows your current queue length and estimated wait time, so customers understand your pieces are handmade and worth waiting for. Many successful crochet makers on the platform produce only ten to fifteen pieces per month at premium prices. The made-to-order queue prevents overbooking — when your capacity is full for the month, the system shows the next available slot, managing customer expectations without you manually declining orders.

Different model. Shopee charges commission and puts your handmade amigurumi next to factory-produced toys at a fraction of the price — impossible to compete. Instagram is great for showcase but terrible for order management. Custom specs, colour choices, and deposit collection require endless DM threads per order. Suriya charges three hundred forty-nine baht per month flat with zero commission. Customers browse your catalog, select options, pay deposits, and track their queue position — all without a single DM. Most crochet makers use Suriya for orders and Instagram purely for portfolio showcase.
