| V04 | Ban Ta Sawang - silk village | | | | | Approximate duration: 6 hours Price: 1300 baht per person Information : Lunch and transport included | | | | Ban Ta Sawang is a village of master silk craftsmen and women famous for the quality of their production. The colouring and the spinning of the silk are made according to an ancestral method originating from the Surin region. Certain unique pieces are specially created for the Royal family and other very important persons. They are made by the most experienced weavers who possess a prodigious know-how and an extraordinary precision. Their formation requires numerous years of training. It often takes several working months for the realisation of the tissues and pieces made in Ban Ta Sawang. For example, four persons must work together during approximately one month to elaborate one square meter of tissue for a unique piece. But maybe the most impressive thing in this village are the magnificent constructions of teak wood in which the staff works, and the atmosphere that seems to date from time immemorial. A small museum can also be visited on request. Many unique pieces made several centuries ago and that belonged to the royal family are shown there. Moreover, you can also see the making of golden jewels that match the ornate patterns of the silk pieces. A true pleasure for the eyes! | | |

An enormous white statue of Lord Buddha in the meditating pose is at the summit of the first hill. It was built in January, 1979 (year 2522 of the Buddhist Era) thanks to the donations given by the inhabitants of Surin. On the other hill, a footprint of Lord Buddha can be found. The annual procession which takes place in March starting the first day of the waxing moon may originally have been an ancient Khmer custom.

Nowadays, a Buddhist temple where live about ten monks (always very happy to receive foreign visitors) is located at its summit: Wat Phnom Silaram. | | |
