On the grounds of one of the wats In Luang Prabang, Laos, we bought cold drinks from a woman manning a small stall.  Excitingly, she was couching golden threads on a small piece of cloth! It was nice to see people still doing this in a serene open atmosphere and not in a sweatshop.  She didn’t speak any English so unfortunately  I don’t know if this was an item to be sold later or for her own use.  I did compensate her for taking photos!
