Saowaluk Korsakwattana crafts paper in the form of the deities Guan Yin and Ganesha at Wat Duangdee, and invites visitors to perform the Chinese fortune telling practice known as siem see.

 

The second design week showcases plenty of interesting ideas

 

A POPSICLE stick that can tell your fortune, a lounge chair inspired by the traditional Thai sweet khanom sai sai and a 90-minute, four-hand massage treatment choreographed to specially composed Lanna music.
