Description

Drum-making village near Pa Mok in Ang Thong province. The locals of Ban Phae are renowned for their production of drums, a tradition that began in 1927 and continues to this day. Typically, when the agricultural harvest season ends, farmers turn from growing crops to drum production, and as a result, many shops on both sides of the main road pop up seasonally. Locals use cowhide and raintree wood due to the softness of the wood. At the drum-making villages, visitors can observe the production process, beginning with lathing the wood, treating the sheets of cowhide and embedding the pins. The beautiful drums make great souvenirs. In addition, the largest drum in the world (3.7 meters wide by 7.6 meters long) can be seen in front of the Tambon chief's home. The drum was built in 1994 and took one year to complete. [Source: TAT]
