Description: |
|
Ban Don Kai Dee in Krathum Baen District of Samut Sakhon
Province is the premiere location where Thailand’s famed
Benjarong porcelain is fired. The ceramics produced here are of
the finest quality and are much sought after by collectors,
universally admired for the beauty and grace of their unique
form, design, and color. Ban Don Kai Dee in particular is known
for its design, named Sakharabenjayamanee, or the Five-coloured
Gemstones of Sakhon City, with its blue-green color representing
the city’s coastal fishing history.
The locals of Ban Don
Kai Dee have formed a thriving handicraft group. The hospitable
villagers welcome visitors with not only beautiful wares on
offer, but also interactive activities. The craft of Benjarong
porcelain is demonstrated eagerly to tourists, and visitors may
also enjoy tours of the village and visits to the nearby
orchards and coast. Standard homestays at very reasonable
prices, with food included, are offered by many local families.
To get to the village, take Highway 35 (Thon Buri-Pak Tho)
and turn left onto Highway 3091. Ban Don Kai Dee is 2.2
kilometers from the clock tower. |
