It aims to help rural families earn additional income by providing financial assistance and expert guidance, at no cost, to craftsmen all over Thailand, such as the weaving of ํ “Yan Lipao” basketry in the far South, hill tribe silver work in the North, and the weaving of Mudmee silk fabric in old patterns in the Northeast.
