Silk Weavers

At the end of our 3-day English camp that we conducted, the teachers took us to a small village that weaves silk. Thai silk is the finest in the world. It will take about two days to make a piece of silk that measures about 2 and a half yards. The piece of material costs around $1,250 baht which is a lot of money for most Thais ($32.50). The women work in a space under the house in temperatures that hover between 90 and 104 degrees.

Some of the Thai English teachers and weavers pose with us in front of the house where the silk cloth is made.
