Today, Her Majesty has set the stand- ard of traditional Thai costumes. This new fashion trend for Thai women has developed an income for the people in rural areas. The Royal project, “Silpacheep”, the Queen’s foundation, which maintains the art of traditional weaving, both in silk and cotton, is also engaged in preserving and developing other traditional crafts. Her Majesty the Queen has been tireless in Her work to promote these traditional art forms and to garner income generation for rural communities.
