Thai Craftsmanship

Thai craftsmanship demonstrates wisdom and skills passed through

generations over a long period of time as well as creativity in the utilization

of natural materials with a focus on functions. Splendid details are added

to make it precious and unique craftwork full of charm, such as the

construction of traditional Thai houses localized to suit the living conditions

and the environment of each region, bamboo basketry, woven fabrics which

are more than everyday clothing, the creation of Lanna lanterns, fresh flower

arrangement and banana stalk carving.
