"We have 10 members and all of us are in our 60s," said Napa, the chief of Tai Lue Weaving Group. Napa learned her weaving skills at a young age so she was chosen to be the chief of Tai Lue Weaving Group in Ban Thi. Seven Tai Lue communities in Ban Thi will join hands to organise the Loy Krathong festival. He said his main source of income, which is like most villagers in the Ban Thi community, is from a longan plantation. To visit the community, take a songthaew at the bus terminal in the city to Ban Thi or call the Ban Thi homestay service to arrange for the paid shuttle.
