Handicraft DollsBan Bang Sadet This village of Amphoe Pa Mok is noted for producing the so-called Court Dolls. Encouraged by Her Majesty the Queen, the villagers turn out delicate and unglazed dolls featuring ways of life, Thai customs and traditions as well as folk play. They are on sale at Wat Tha Suthawat and at the Chitrlada shops.
 
 
Largest DrumBan Bang Phae This is a village which specialises in drum making. It is located at Tambon Ekkarat behind Pa Mok Market near the Chao Phraya River. The traditional drums, made of cow hide and softwood with exquisite craftsmanship, were originally used in performances. Smaller sizes are also available for tourists, who like to buy them as souvenirs.
 
Ban Bang Chao Cho This village is located in Amphoe Pho Thong, 14 kms. from the town. The villagers have retained the art of traditional basketry and make old patterns as well as create modern designs. The bamboo baskets are made in various shapes and sizes, and can be used in many ways. Along the Ayutthaya-Pa Mok route, there is a cottage industry of Thai-Style house prefabricated parts. The exquisite workmanship has been handed down from generation to generation.
