Borsang is the Umbrella Village where these dainty and colourful parasols are produced, in the San Khampaeng district, 10kms east of the city. They are a distinctive Thai icon and have made the little village of Borsang famous. These umbrellas are delicately crafted from bamboo or cane and exquisitely decorated with colourful pictures or patterns on glazed rice paper covers. They are one of many fine Thai handicrafts.
