Basket Boats by Jill MacGregor SJ P2 N1 2009

1. How does Thanh and his family look after the Thung Chai boat? Give as much detail as possible.

 sometimes  they cover their boat with palm fronds when they are not using them, to protect them from the  sun pouring it.                                                             

     2.    The boat is made from natural resources. What are the resources?they scrape off the outer skin and  then slice the poles into thin slat to make the bamboo easier to  weave they soak the slats in water  

     

     3.    Find pictures of all of the resources needed to make and care for this boat.most of his family own thung chai has painted their thung chai boats in number 7976 and painted them on his fishing boat.  

       

     4.  Would we be able to make these boats here in New Zealand?

        yes because we have those  reports.
