Bamboo Handicraft Village in Prachinburi Province is a cultural tourism site that reflects local wisdom and the simple lifestyle of the Prachantakham community. Bamboo has long been regarded as the village’s symbol and is used in many forms, especially weaving crafts passed down for generations, including chicken coops, fishing tools, baskets, and handicrafts developed into household products and souvenirs.

 

The village is not only a production center of bamboo crafts but also a learning hub where visitors can experience the authentic way of local life. Each visit offers more than shopping; it is about absorbing cultural stories and joining a lifestyle closely connected to nature.

 

The Prachantakham community has long ties with bamboo. It grows abundantly, is strong, flexible, and versatile. In the past, nearly every household wove bamboo into daily items such as baskets, trays, and chicken coops before evolving into key products generating income for families.

 

Today, the Bamboo Handicraft Village is promoted as a cultural learning center where visitors can explore wisdom passed down through many generations by both observation and hands-on practice.

 

Products are diverse, from practical items still used in rural households to modern décor such as lamps, vases, and small ornaments. Visitors can purchase both functional goods and unique souvenirs.

 

Guests can learn weaving directly from locals through demonstrations and activities, such as splitting bamboo, weaving baskets, or crafting small items. These activities help visitors understand the value of handicrafts and the effort behind them.

 

This craft reflects sustainable resource use, creates extra income, and encourages community enterprises to continually innovate and design new products while strengthening pride in their local identity.

 

Cultural tourism here also supports the local economy, creating jobs and business opportunities while allowing visitors to experience genuine village life and support the preservation of local wisdom.
