So after the floating markets, we went to the Royal Thai Handicraft centre.
Most of the people who work here are from the Chiang Mai province, which is in the north of Thailand. They work on these wooden murials and, depending on how intricate they are, can take anywhere bewteen 3 months and a year to complete. This one here is worth around 8 months of carving.
Hmm. Nice tree trunk.

This is a replica of the Golden Buddha and took around 6 months to complete.
