"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the rice fields. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset."

The Thai Ethnic Group in Vietnam has a rich Cultural Heritage, particularly in their Traditional Textiles. Using a Backstrap Loom, Thai Weavers produce high-quality fabrics with intricate patterns and vibrant colors.

However, the decline in demand for Hand-woven Textiles and the loss of interest in Traditional Weaving Techniques are major challenges for the continuation of Thai Textiles. To address these challenges, initiatives are underway to support and promote traditional Thai Textiles, with hopes that they will continue to thrive and be appreciated for Generations to come.
