PHRAE
Phrae is quite a prosperous province due to lucrative coal mining
and, until recently, logging businesses. The town is popular as
a manufacturing centre for rattan furniture and the indigodyed farmers'
shirts which are worn all over Thailand as a symbol of solidarity
with rural Thai life.
One of the attractions of Phrae is its eclectic blend of temple
architecture. Traditional Lanna architecture, with its multi-tiered
roofs, is seen side by side with examples of Burmese and Lao temple
architecture.
