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.
