These chairs vary considerably in size, but each measures between 50cm and 1.2m in length. When asked about the origin of these chairs, most Thai people in Que Phong district believe they are heirlooms passed down from their ancestors, hundreds of years old, considered "treasures" by their families, and that no one is currently producing more because it is too time-consuming...
