Ideal for
reading, sleeping, meditations, camping, have a rest, etc., our famous hammocks
are made by Thais craftsmen and women from Chiang Rai and Lahu tribe from
Chiang Mai.
It depends
on the size but one hammock can be weaving during 1 to 4 days. Lahu’s hammocks
are hand dyed natural cotton rope. They make small and large versions, for 1 or
2 adults.
Hammocks’
designs are created by Thais artists. There are lots of different color stripes
and patterns: rainbow or blue, green, purple, and orange, yellow, red stripes,
etc., from 1 to 10 different colors by item.
Some
hammocks are made for indoor or for outdoor uses (100% weatherproof), just for
sitting or spreading, it depends on the size.
The bigger is Super-Jumbo Hammock made in acrylic material.
More about Lahu
people:
There are around 50 000 Lahus now living in Thailand. The four subtribes of
Lahu are Lahu Na, Laju Sheh Leh, Lahu Shi and Lahu Nyi and they all produce a
diversity of designs.
Lahu women are skilled in weaving cloth both on back strap and foot treadle
looms. Lahu weaving is unique in that the pattern appears on only one side of
the cloth. Lahu women also produce delicate and colourful patchwork trims.
Lahu men make baskets, crossbows and musical instruments.
