Guest Post (Denise): East Meets West Ock Pop Tok

Uncategorized

I like Ock Pop Tok. It means east meets west. There’s a restaurant and a free tour to learn about weaving with silk.

The colours come from plants.

  • Indigo plant = blues
  • Teak leaves = beige
  • Sappan wood = purples, reds
  • Lemongrass = brown, white
  • Tumeric = yellow
  • Annatto = oranges
  • Jackfruit wood = gold

Here are the dyes boiling in the pots.
