Along both sides of Mae Klong Bang Pae route, the profession of
making home-made palm sugar is quite important. At present, visitors
often stop to see the stoves that are used in making palm sugar.
There are many kinds of stoves (or Tao) that are used in making
palm sugar, such as Tao Waan, Tao Tan Dee, and Tao Thai Derm. In
the morning, villagers climb a coconut tree to retrieve coconut
nectar collected in containers made from cut-bamboo sections that
were hung overnight from the coconut trees. The nectar is boiled
