The Baan Batt community is the first and only community where the locals still earn a living making monk's batt.
The batt from Baan Batt are entirely hand-made following to the monk’s disciplines. This community was founded since the Ayutthaya era which was one of the eras where Buddhism was very prosperous. The villagers in Klong Bart Pra district at Ayutthaya worked as craftsmen who made monk's batt. After the Ayutthaya city was fell in 1767, they moved to live near the walls of the Rattanakosin city. Later, King Rama I established Bangkok as the capital city. In 1783, the city plan was revised. Because of the loud noise caused by the making of monk's batt, the community was then moved to the Main Poon junction, the current location. Community is a short walk away from the Golden Mount in one direction and wat suthat and the Giant Swing (Sao Ching Cha) in the other.
