Bo-Sang, you cheeky monkey

26.06.2006 sunny 50 °C

On Tuesday we went to Bo-Sang which is the paper umbrella capital of Thailand. If you love umbrellas this is your mecca. They have an umbrella "factory" you can go to and watch them make paper umbrellas which is somewhat interesting in a wierd way.

We also spent a couple of hours walking down the main road of Bo-Sang which has lots of wood carving shops, umbrella shops and furniture shops. The wood carvings are pretty cool and the umbrella shops are well...full of umbrellas. The teak furnture is very nice and pretty cheap relatively. Shipping would be HUGE though.

I would only recommend going to Bo-Sang if you really like umbrellas or want a good deal on teak furniture.

Thanks for the advice C&C, I love umbrellas especially the little ones. It has been my dream, ever since I was a little kid, to go to a mini umbrella factory to see how they make those amazing little contraptions. I already bought my ticket and am leaving soon. Thanks again.
