Folding palm leaves, known as 'Bai Sri', is a traditional Thai art form where palm leaves are intricately folded into complex patterns. These creations are often used in ceremonial offerings and as decorations during religious festivals. Bai Sri is symbolic and is believed to bring good luck and blessings. The designs can range from simple to highly elaborate, including flowers, birds, and temples. At the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, you can participate in a workshop to learn more about this art.
