Still in Ban Chiang, we stopped at a local weaving and dyeing place. It was a large home; the couple running it obviously lived in part of it. There were 6-8 looms, only one being used while we were there. They had many textiles for sale; we each got something — they were impossible to resist!
The woman showed us the indigo pots for dyeing. She was well protected with rubber boots, gloves, and apron.
This is a traditional Thai wrap skirt on display. You might notice the patterns here echo the ancient pottery patterns.
Some tie-dye fabric hanging to dry.
Along the road, we saw many trees planted in rows. They are rubber trees and we could see the small pots hanging on each one. This photo was from the car, so not the best.
