Silk and cotton weavers in Lamphun are expressing their gratitude to Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya for her dedication to preserving and developing Thai textiles in the northern province as well as improving their quality of life.

Since HRH Princess Sirivannavari began dedicating herself to carrying on the work of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother in supporting, conserving and promoting Thai textiles, the princess has gone to every region known for their craftsmanship. There, the princess bestowed the royal "Khor Chaofah Sirivannavari" motif and "khit" fabrics with the "Nariratana Rajakanya" pattern to groups of weavers for product development, a move that made quite an impression.
