 Description:   The landscape of Chanthaburi Province is plain. Some parts of the area are used for doing rice-farming and there are a number of reeds growing there. Reeds have perfect quality for weaving mats, which are well-known handicrafts in Chanthaburi Province. When speaking of Chanthaburi’s famous place for weaving mat, it cannot be anywhere else but “Ban Samet Ngam Chanthaboon Mat Handicraft Center.”
Ban Samet Ngam Chanthaboon Mat Handicraft Center is located at Ban Samet Ngam in the village number 11, Nong Bua Sub-district, Mueang District, Chanthaburi Province, and is approximately 7 kilometers from the city center. At the center, the villagers will spend their free time after harvesting rice weaving mats in different patterns, especially “Chanthaboon Mat” which is one of the “best products” in Chanthaburi.
Inside the center, the tourists can witness how to weave mats by the weaving equipments called “beater,” which requires 2 weavers. The process of weaving starts with stretching the tendons with reeds (already colored and dried) by threading the tendons through the entire gaps in the beater. After that, one weaver has to push the reeds between beater and tendons, while the other one moves the beater to hit the reeds in order to make it attach and become one mat. However, those who are interested in experiencing this demonstration have to contact 0 3931 1565 in advance.
Apart from witnessing how to weave mats by hand, which acquires a great deal of efforts, the tourists can also choose and buy some processed products made from reeds by the villagers, such as glass mat, plate mat, tissue paper box, bag, and mat, as a souvenir.
