Handcrafts-Thai

Thailand, a southeast Asian country with, give-or-take, the same size as France. Her shape resembles an ancient ax. A country is not only rich in agriculture, but also in tradition and culture. Thai people are known for their calmness and their usual phrase "mai-pen-rai" or simply translated to "that's alright, it's not a big deal" which always go together with the famous Thai smiles - "yim-Siam" They are also good with their hands. As a young girl growing up in Thailand, I never quite understood why fruits carving, garlands making, handmade garments and embroidery were classes that we all had to take along with other academic courses such as science, math, literature, and other 'important' subjects. All my teachers kept telling me that in learning how to put delicate tiny jasmine flowers together -without breaking or bruising their little petals- and turn them into a big-tail squirrel sitting on a branch, or, completely hand sewn a man's shirt -with detailed small stitches that ran straight as if they were sewn by a machine- would enable me to practice patience, thoroughness, attention paying to details, among many more things that I learned; all of that just from sitting hours after hours carving garden vegetables into a basket of flowers so that I could present them along with the famous "nam=prik-kapi-koong-sod" or four-flavor fresh prawn paste, which goes very well with steamy Thai jasmine long grain rice and crispy fried Thai style omlet.
