Weaver of Chinese Paper Lantern

Paper lantern was used both as household and ceremonial item. Thus, a Chinese community never lacked those who earned a living weaving paper lantern, besides painting letters on it. The kind meant for hanging in front of a shop usually bore the shop's narrate in red while the kind used at a funeral bore blue letters. An alley in Sampheng called trok Rong Khom(Lantern Factory Alley) was an area of predominantly paper lantern manufacturing.
