Phrae Thailand

Phrae

Phrae Province, The province of Phrae is well known in Thailand for its seua maw hawm, an indigo-dyed cotton farmers shirt, worn by many Thais all over the country. It is also known for its teak industry, which thrived until the government ban on logging in 1989. Fine teak carvings can be found at Talaat Hua Dong, a market specialising in wooden carvings, in the Sung Men district.

The provincial capital, Phrae, is an attractive city situated in a narrow valley along the banks of the Mae Yom River. Founded in the 12th century, it was known as Wiang Kosai or 'Silk Cloth City'. It was an independent Thai state up until the 16th century, when it was overtaken by an army from Ayutthaya. When the power of Ayutthaya started to diminish in the late 18th century it came under the rule of the Burmese.
