Which handmade rug would you select: a rug from Iran or a rug made in Guatemala?
Give the reasons for your selection.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would choose a rug from Guatemala because I am living there right now. They are beautiful, and I know that they are very inexpensive. I have seen nice rugs in the markets here in Xela for a few hundred Quetzales (1 USD ~= 8.25 Q) so I've seen some for less then $50.
For what it's worth I know that Guatemalan rugs usually consist of geometric-ish designs. I like them, but really it's a matter of preference.

I haven't been to Thailand, so can't help you out. :) I'd love to go someday, so maybe I'll know eventually.
What websites sale Guatemalan rugs?
How do Guatemala compare with Thailand rugs?
$50 is a bargain for such a beautiful rug.
