Did you know For centuries, thais have used plant amphorae to store rice and other essential products in the village or at home. Klong khao (rice box in thai) is made from bamboo. Also, these storage pots for rice, medicinal plants, or other items of daily use are also used a lot in northern thailand. It should be noted that motifs and texts in ancient thai serve as protection for their content. Its origin would come from buddhist monks who collected offerings and donations of food from the population in small boxes. The klong khao is found in all the houses of northern thailand. Both utilitarian and elegant, it comes in different sizes and shapes.
