The Ancient Style Woven Cloth Centre is located just across the Krasiao River on the way to Wat Pha Thang. The woven cloth centre is a centre for traditional style textiles of Laotian people who migrated to Thailand. Their weaving styles in Sinhs skirts, loincloths, bags and cloth to wrap around the head have been inherited over generations. Weaving was the traditional occupation of Ban Pa Thung women. It was a small activity of the housewives who adapted the ancient hand weaving style into modern clothing. With their delicate handicraft skill, their handicrafts have become very well-known. The group was initiated in 1995 by Thonglee Phumpol, the group’s president who came up with the idea to create a group of agriculturist women who can create something during the free period after the harvest. The women’s weaving group under the Royal Project was created. They produce textile products with domestic materials and sell these unique Ban Pa Thung’s style silk, clothing and handicraft products. In 2002, Ban Pa Thung Ancient Style Woven Cloth Centre was established to collect and to sell textile products which are the work of the women’s weaving group.
