Bridging the divide between Thai crafts and daily life

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 — Inherited through generations of an ancestral lineage, arts and crafts from Thailand have their own unique and distinctive values deeply embedded within the efforts that have been used to preserve them.

Thailand has long since recognized the importance of preserving their arts and tradition, and how this importance correlates with their rapidly expanding tourism industry.

“Thai arts and crafts have been passed down through many generations, and the importance of preserving this custom shall not be overlooked by everyone.

“While efforts to preserve this heritage have been ongoing for a while now, further efforts to promote the values of our tradition can go a long way to ensure the presence of Thai arts and crafts in our daily lives,” said Thai Ambassador to Malaysia, Narong Sasitorn, in a statement today.

Against a backdrop of a paradigm shift where technology and digitalisation are rapidly becoming a part of daily norms, it is also pivotal that we ensure an upkeep of the intrinsic values related to the presence of arts and crafts among our current generation.
