I visited a family in the country outside of Udon Thani in NE Thailand. They farmed and lived off their land like many Thai do. In their simple home they also manufactured silk on this homemade loom. The loom was about 12 ft. long and was ancient looking. Making silk cloth is truly an art and skill that is passed down through the generations. I was shown the beautiful pieces they manufactured. They seemed to be so very proud of their work.
