Mor Hom market.

Along this road, there are many shops selling every kinds of the best quality genuine Mor Hom dresses at cheap price. Here, we enjoyed shopping and bought several shirts. Mor Hom is a famous deep blue dye (which is extracted from the local plant called "Hom" ; do not confuse this with the indigo plant), fabric that is a symbol of Phrae. If you like a stylish local shirt, this place is highly recommended.

This sub district is famous for the Indigo dye
Mo Hom is the cotton clothing utilizing the Indigo dye. There are rows of clothing store as well as small factories where they hand dye cottons that you can visit. A small OTOP factory in the photos is called "Baan Pa Ngiam" where they also offer home stay.

Indigo village
Just a few kilometers outside Phrae, this village is famous for indigo-dyed cotton, which is traditionally made into the popular Thai farmer pants and tunics. I was expecting a hamlet, with people dyeing and weaving at their homes, but those days are gone. Shops selling all manner of blue and white clothes are strung out along the main road, and there’s something for everyone. Many of the fabrics are tie-dyed, but beware. Along with cotton and rayon, there’s also “cotton” that’s not cotton, a fabric that doesn’t breathe and is less than perfect for the Thai climate. The highlight of our visit was chatting with ladies at the teahouse behind the market; they were so wonderfully friendly.
