Udon Thani:The government spokesperson's team has taken an initiative to promote faith-based tourism and the traditional hand-woven fabrics of Ban Non Kok, as part of the preparations for an upcoming Cabinet mobile meeting. This meeting, the second to be held outside Bangkok, will focus on agriculture and drug issues.
According to Thai News Agency, the spokesperson team, comprising Ms. Lalida Periswiwatana, Ms. Ploytalay Laksmisangchan, and Captain Patthadarasmi Thongsalooykorn, Deputy Spokespersons for the Prime Minister's Office, led a group of journalists to Udon Thani Province. The visit was designed to explore the region's tourist attractions and local wisdom, aiming to share the local stories and identities with the public and boost awareness of community products.
During their visit, the media delegation toured the Pu-Ya Shrine in Udon Thani, an ancient spiritual center revered by Thai people of Chinese descent and Udon Thani residents. They also visited the Ban Non Kok community in Nong Na Kham Subdistrict, Mueang Udon Thani District, where they observed the preservation and development of traditional weaving techniques. The community showcased their expertise in using looms and creating intricate patterns such as the "Sai Tharn Nak Chiang Ruang," a signature design that embodies the craftsmanship and wisdom handed down through generations. This traditional skill is seen as an opportunity to develop value-added products, thereby creating market opportunities and enhancing community income.
