North Thailand Sa Paper Production

Chiang Mai is regarded as the center for northern handicrafts, be it handwoven fabrics, woodcraft, wicker ware, lacquer ware or other utensils. Visitors to Chiang Mai, therefore, should not go home without buying some locally-made souvenirs. Prominent among the local handicrafts is sa paper and sa paper products from Tambon Ton Pao in Chiang Mai's San Kamphaeng district. Making sa paper has been a tradition for the villagers of Tambon Ton Pao. However, the product was not popular in the old days, when it was used mostly for the production of umbrellas, banners, hot balloons, candlewick or cabalistic writing. Thanks to consistent promotion and development assistance from government authorities, the handicraft rooted in folk wisdom became a much-wanted product both at home and abroad, earning an impressive income for the villagers of Tambon Ton Pao.
