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.
