The Hill Tribe Museum and Handicrafts Shop stocks an authentic selection of tasteful and well-made hill-tribe handicrafts. The shop, on the second floor, operates under the auspices of the PDA (Population and Community Development Association) and all proceeds go to village projects. The museum is a great place to learn about the hill tribes before going on a trek, and includes a slick, informative slide show (20min). You can donate old clothes or money for jumpers and blankets, and they also organize treks and tours themselves. The Cabbages and Condoms restaurant is here too.
