Nans woven materials are distinctively different in terms of designs and production methods from other localities. The most famous pattern is the Lai Nam Lai which resembles waves or stairs. Other designs also reflect the local artistic and creative skills. The materials are used for making dresses, colourful satchels and Tung, a type of pennant used in religious rites. Such products are widely available in town or production centres in rural villages particularly at Ban Nong Bua in Tha Wang Pha district.
Orange
The leading agricultural produce is the Som Si Thong (golden oranges), which are of the same species as oranges of the Central Plain. Because of climatic differences, the local version is golden-skinned and more aromatic. They are in season in December
Local Musical Instruments
Nan is also noted for making musical instruments which include the Saloh, a violin-like instrument, and the Sueng, similar to a guitar. They are used in bands which can still be heard in certain restaurants in town where they can be bought.
