| Chiang Mai Sight Seeing Bo Sang Umbrella and Parasol Village |
||||
 The world-famous village is 9 km from town, along a road lined with handicraft-producing factories. In genuine cottage industries, young women manufacture silk and cotton umbrellas and paper parasols, which are subsequently hand, painted in various animal and floral designs. Generations of Bo Sang families have been engaged in umbrella and parasol making for more than 200 years. These have traditionally been produced in the area around Ban Bo Sang. The tourism industry has made the once small craft thrive. Frames for umbrellas are produced in stages, and it is common to see men or women underneath houses working on a batch of umbrellas at one stage of the production process. Different households may specialize in one stage of making the umbrellas.Sa Paper Production has been through a similar transformation driven  by increasing local and tourist demand for decorative paper. The paper is produced by drying the woody stems of the Sa plant (a kind of mulberry). Then they are soaked and pulverized into a mush in a mill. Colour is added and the mix is placed in tubs where it is suspended in water. By drawing a fine mesh grill through the tub, sediment accumulates on the grill in thin sheets. In drying the sediment coagulates to form the sheets of paper. These are then sold, or fashioned into souvenirs such as cards and notebooks. |
