Souvenir from Cambodia

August 24, 2006 ⋅ post a comment
Filed Under  Phnom Penh

What do you expect to get back from your visit to Cambodia? Not ancient statues. Something that enrich your travel experience unique when you get back home. What about Krama at Russian market?

These handwoven cotton scarves are worn by the rural Khmers (Cambodian people) as well as those in cities. The Khmers use it for almost anything: scarves and shawls to protect from the sun, wind, and dust; slung around the waist like tapis (especially when they take a bath in the river, then they can also use the kramas as towels); as baby carriers; as headdresses; table runners; placed on chairs to dress them up during important occasions like weddings and birthdays; as pillow covers; as picnic blankets… I could go on and on.
