For many years, Thai people have used umbrellas to shelter from both rain and strong sunshine, and perhaps the most distinctive of all umbrellas seen in Thailand are those made in Bo Sang Village in Chiang Mai Province in the North of the country. This village is renowned, among Thai and foreign tourist alike, for the uniqueness of its umbrellas, which are exquisitely painted on cotton, silk and Sa paper, making them very popular products.
