BAAN KRUA COMMUNITY
|
|
| How many people know where world-renowned JimThompson |
| Thai silk is made? Originally,it was made at the Baan Krua Community, |
| a muslim village located at Ratchatewi. |
| Historical accounts of the villagers are traced back to ancient |
| Cham people who immigrated from Cambodia in the reign of King Rama 1. |
| |
|
|
These people paid gratitude to the king by fighting in a war to protect |
| the kingdom.What we brought with us was our expertise in |
| fishing and local silk weaving. Initially, we made only what we used in |
| life, such as sarong and loincloth. We had developed our skill to made |
| silk cloth for sale in the provinces and Jim Thompson subsequently |
| found us and helped us to improve design and patterns.Since then |
| high-quality silk cloth has been produced to catch the eyes of international |
| shoppers. Jim Thompson silk was featured in the Ben-Hur movie |
| |
|
|
and since then it has been recognised worldwide. |
| Some original designs are kept on ; new ones are in experiment |
| and development. Silk cloth from the village is now better know for its |
| unique colour. |
