The art of Thai weaving has a long history dating back to the Chiang Saen period. Silk threads are used as the primary material, combined with local wisdom to create traditional silk patterns, such as the Lai Ta Chak design, which are used in both ceremonial practices and everyday life.
The Thai silk pha khao ma is distinguished by its meticulous craftsmanship and delicate details, as it is handwoven using silk threads that differ from ordinary cotton or hemp fibers.
