Thai Lacquerware includes such a broad range of handmade items in so many different sizes, designs and quality. The first room shows the lacquerware production. The lacquer was a thick black goo. The host showed us how it is applied to the wood and left alone a week to dry. She stated the goods usually had 6-8 coats of lacquer applied. Walking through, there was a man basket weaving bowls, plates and vases. Others were painting or making designs with broken egg shells. What a fantastic way to use the resources.
