Lan Village was a place renowned for weaving traditional fabrics for the entire Pu Luong region. People from within a 70km radius would come here to exchange woven fabrics. They would then use these fabrics to tailor traditional clothing for their family members. For Thai women, beauty is not the most important aspect; what matters is the ability to weave clothes for their husbands and children and excel in farming.
