Ko Tanot T-junction, go straight and turn right at Wat Thakian
Thong T-junction before continuing for another 200 meters. There
is also another route. From the city center, cross Trirat Bridge
to Sukhumvit Road, and then turn right to Trat Province for
around 8 kilometers. After that, turn right at the intersection
to Ban Bang Sa Kao for another 8 kilometers. At present, Bang
Sa Kao Mat Arts Center was founded in 2000 supported by the
Social Investment Fund (SIF). It was constructed under the
concept of self-reliant community development, which
concentrates on the process of learning reinforcement and the
participation of community, village organization, and strong
community culture. The main function of the center is to
encourage reed and jute cultivation. Besides, its purposes are
to reduce the manufacturing costs, to have enough raw materials
in the area, to provide some capital to pay for the cultivation
and preparation costs, to refund social capital to the members,
and to purchase and distribute community products. The purchase
means to buy reed mats from the members and to process the mats
for sale by focusing on the use of raw materials in the area.
However, the other products are sold on consignment in order to
create connection among the products in the community.
