This temple is one of the great example to show the tight relationship between temple and local people. People donate the house and all equipment to show the original Thai Lua house. I proud to visit there to see the local idea to do the best to show their culture.

Sliver Smith
Next, we went to visit the silver smith . He was the best silver smith in town. He can create the amazing crave bowl by very basic tool. The factory area is just 2 square meter width . If my mom visited here, she must buy a big piece of this bowl. Currently, the silver price was very high so it drive the price up. The product here is sell by the weigh of the object.
