About this place
Ban Pho Kong Tourism Community is located in Tambon Chuea Phloeng and is another famous silk production site of Surin province. At present, besides farming, the villagers have gathered together to produce handwoven silk by using a production process that has been inherited from their ancestors. They still preserve the unique ancient patterns of the village, e.g., Matmi pattern, Ho pattern, etc.
The silk of the Ban Pho Kong villagers is made from local silk that they raise themselves and ready-made artificial silk threads are woven in a row of silk threads one by one until becoming a beautiful piece of cloth. It is also a community with a local natural lifestyle and Khmer culture in Thailand. There are cultural performances, which the well-being of a mix between Thailand and Cambodia has been diverse for a long time, e.g., local performances of “Kanoptingtong” (praying mantis”), etc.
