The Pewter Factory




I don't understand why, but you are not allowed to take photos anywhere.

In Thailand the only places in which photos are usually a problem is in temples and then most of the time also only when it is a prayer hour etc.


Well at least at this factory they have posters on the outside of the building which explains the whole process to you.

First you go on a tour in which they explain the history of "Tin mining" in Malaysia which is very interesting, then they take you through the process of manufacturing goods out of the pewter and of course the highlight "not sure if it's more of a highlight for them or the tourists" is the show room in which souvenirs can be purchased. Quite expensive but worth the visit.





The manufacturing process...
