South East Asia Sampan Boat Red Bottom Thuyen Ba La Tam Ban

The Sampan Boat, also known as Thuyen Ba La Tam Ban, is a traditional small wooden boat or skiff with a rich maritime history in Asia. First developed during the Han Dynasty in China, sampan boats later became widely used on the waters of Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Unlike decorative boat models, this handcrafted sampan is a fully functional wooden boat designed for rowing and recreational use on suitable calm waters.

The word “sampan” comes from the Chinese term meaning “three boards,” although sampan boats can be constructed with more than three boards. Our sampan boat features seven wooden boards crafted from Star Wood or Merawan hardwood, a fine local timber with a natural appearance similar to golden oak.

The boat is carefully assembled around a sturdy wooden skeleton frame, then smoothly sanded, painted, and finished with protective varnish. Its classic red finish highlights the traditional character of the design, while a teal version is also available as Item K207.
