At nightfall, across from the old Royal Palace, cars and tuk-tuks give way to the several hundred stalls of a night market. Under canopies, merchants arrange their wares on the ground and lanterns create a riot of colours. Most items here are handmade. Calling cards, photo albums, calendars, lampshades, popular images, parasols, lanterns: the market's highly diverse and very refined crafts are all crafted from delicate sâa paper, made from mulberry bark.
