We have been exploring the area around our new guesthouse. We're only a few blocks from where we've stayed the last few years but it's opened up a whole new neighborhood with different street food options, restaurants, temples, and mom-and-pop shops where we can buy milk, beer, soap and non-food items.
Jim ran across a special place hidden away filled with splendid terra-cotta earthenware. The artist sculpts using the local clay, known as Thailand’s thickest clay. Passionate about art, Mr. Suttiphong has created numerous retrospective sculptures, resulting in Baan Phor Liang Meun Thai Plant Garden, an earthenware gallery in the old city. His works cover a wide range of styles such as Lanna, Thai, Hariphunchai, and Khmer and include wall hangings, bas-reliefs, high-reliefs, lanterns and archways. Here are some photos I took about six years when I stumbled on to the same place.
