"The handles are made of wire, three strands each side, curving up from the base on the long sides and tied together at the top, then braided together with rattan into the carrying handle." (Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre, author วิบูลย์ ลี้สุวรรณ (Wiboon Leesuwan), CC BY 4.0)

Split strips and weave the base tapering to a hexagon, then weave the body close all the way up to an oval mouth.

Make the rim of the mouth from bamboo.

Bend wire, three strands each side, curving up from the base on the long sides; tie them together at the top and braid rattan over them into the carrying handle.

Fill it and carry it by the rattan handle.

This basket is popular in Ang Thong, Suphan Buri, Sing Buri and Chai Nat; other names are krajat hu, takra hio, ka-teng and kra-taeng. Beware of wire ends and the knife.
