Among the Thai Yuan, the fabric functioned as an indicator of status; the more silk, gold, or silver thread it contained, the higher the owner\u2019s social and economic position.

The craft was then on the verge of extinction due to lack of young weavers to carry on the tradition. At the suggestion of Her Royal Highness, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother (then Queen Consort) invited Mrs. Son to work as a trainer at the SUPPORT workshop at Klai Kangwol Palace in Western Thailand. The SUPPORT Foundation was founded by Her Majesty to preserve and promulgate traditional crafts as well as provide needed assistance to craft-producing communities across Thailand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1694 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thailandfoundation.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u0e19\u0e32\u0e07\u0e0b\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e19-\u0e01\u0e33\u0e25\u0e31\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e0d.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailandfoundation.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u0e19\u0e32\u0e07\u0e0b\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e19-\u0e01\u0e33\u0e25\u0e31\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e0d.jpeg 538w, https:\/\/thailandfoundation.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u0e19\u0e32\u0e07\u0e0b\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e19-\u0e01\u0e33\u0e25\u0e31\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e0d-189x300.jpeg 189w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/>Mrs. Son Kamlanghan [photo cr.
