A type of traditional Southeast Asian broom or sweeping tool made from bundled plant fibers.
From Malay and other Southeast Asian languages, 'balai' derives from words meaning to sweep or clean. The term reflects the practical tools used in tropical regions.
A balai is so simple yet so important in tropical cultures—it's designed specifically for sweeping large areas efficiently in humid climates, and the bundled fiber design is ergonomically perfect!
