After I attended Let’s Do Good Activity with Pises Powder, the ceremony to celebrate a newly renovated pavilion and also a new temple’s sign. Before going home, I will take you to go sightseeing in Lampang province {{{(>_<)}}}
First, I am going to visit Dhanabadee Ceramic Museum – A ceramic museum that makes chicken bowls. This museum is worth visiting because not only you will know about the history of chicken bowl but also you can buy very beautiful chicken bowls as a souvenir back home.
Originally from the Canton region in China, a chicken bowl (koey oua) holds rice soup or noodles. In the early 20th century, Chinese immigrants came to Thailand in larger numbers, and during the Sino-Japanese war the imported chicken bowls came in short supply. Chicken bowls started being produced in Lampang in 1937, and were fired using a Dragon Kiln. The story begins with the man that started making chicken bowls. Meet Mr E. (Chin Simyu), who in 1954 discovered the kaolinte deposits in Lampang that make up the bowls today ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
The next main phase of the museum shows how they’re produced, both in the traditional way and the modern way. Making the bowls the traditional way – they’re all the same size, spun by hand, and start with a pre-measured amount of clay. Not pictured is a machine-spun ball of clay with a handle that came down to press the bowl into the right shape. Hand-painting is just one step of the process. Now that we’ve seen how they’re made, the room next to the kiln is a showroom of modern chicken bowls.
This is perhaps one of the best reasons to come to Lampang. Hope you guys enjoy. There are so many interesting places that I would like to visit. Let’ s go!!
