Description: |
|
The locals of Ban Phae are renowned for their production of
drums, a tradition that began in 1927 and continues to this day.
Typically, when the agricultural harvest season ends, farmers
turn from growingcrops to drum production, and as a result, many
shops on both sides of the main road pop up seasonally.
Locals use cowhide and rain tree wood, due to the softness of
the wood. At the drum-making villages, visitors can observe the
production process, beginning with lathing the wood, treating
the sheets of cowhide and all the way to embedding the pins. The
beautiful drums make great souvenirs. In addition, the largest
drum in the world (3.7 meters wide by 7.6 meters long) can be
seen in front of the Tambon chief’s home. The drum was built in
1994 and took one year to complete. The drum-making villages
are located in Tambon Ekkarat, behind Pa Mok market on the west
bank of the Chao Phraya River.
To get there, take the inner road passing Amphoe Pa Mok
Municipality Office running parallel to the irrigation canal for
approximately 17 kilometers. |
