Let’s visit Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles again today and join curator Raffy to see the exquisite Phrae Wa silk, a distinctive woven textile of Phu Tai Ethnic Group in Thailand. Two sophisticated techniques are used for Phrae Wa weaving, i.e. Chok (discontinuous supplementary weft) and Khit (continuous supplementary weft) to achieve very intricate patterns. Under the Queen’s support and promotion, this rare type of weaving survives and gains local and international awareness.
