Umbrella Making Centre in Thailand

111/2 Moo 3 Borsang Village, Sankamphaeng, +6653 338324.

In this covered outdoor pavilion at the Umbrella Making Centre, busy workers put together paper umbrellas. You’ll see frame-making, paper-making from the bark of mulberry trees, the covering of umbrella frames with paper or cotton or silk, and hand-painting. In between, workers will paint permanent works of art on your camera case, hat, or jeans. A huge gift shop adjoins.



More things to see and do in Thailand.

More ideas for exploring Asia and the South Pacific.

  2. I've been out to Borsang a number of times, and there are always great photo ops.
