January - February Northern Thailand has many hardwood forests, so it is only natural that wood carving would rank high among the country's traditional handicrafts. Evidence of the woodcarvers' skill can be seen on countless Buddhist temples all over the country, in splendid gables, cornices, doors and windows. It is also evident on palaces and ordinary houses, and in an endless variety of products used in daily life, from cooking utensils and spinning wheels to elephant howdahs. |
The greatest concentration of wood- carvers is perhaps still in the North, mainly in and around Chiangmai, although many skilled carvers may be found all over Thailand. Shops in Thailand's major cities feature a wide range of carved wood products from exquisitely carved furniture to more common items, such as salad bowls, wooden trays and lamp stands. A thriving export industry has grown from these products. One of the best known centers for wood carving around Chiangmai is at the village of Baan Thawai, just outside Hang Dong district town. Historically, most of the carvers were farmers who spent their free time making wooden objects, but now with the large number of export companies established in the village, carvers are employed from miles around.
