I can't wait to visit Bo Sang - the umbrella making villiage, not to mention the rest of Sankampaeng Road which is sometimes referred to as the ”handicrafts highway”.
From Yahoo Travel:
For more than 200 years, almost everyone in the small village of Bor Sang has been earning a living from the umbrella trade, silk and cotton umbrellas and paper parasols. Watch the umbrellas being made, then choose one from the variety of beautiful and colorful designs to take home as a souvenir. There is also an annual fair, held each January on the main street, which features an umbrella procession, beauty contests, exhibitions and the selling of umbrellas and other handicrafts.
