The Weavers of Ban Saphay

We thought we'd been conned, but then - what were we expecting?  We were dropped of in between some houses and told that the 200 weavers were down through the houses, WHERE??  A closer look under the houses, they're all on stilts in this village, and we saw gaggles of women sitting at their looms -either working or being watched and entertained by friends and family members.  Of course there weren't 200 but we did see a fair number of them.  They were making 50 metre lengths of silk cloth at a time, some of the colours and patterns quite remarkable.
