Mor Lam is a combination of two Thai words. “Mor” [หมอ] can refer to someone blessed with knowledge. “Lam” [ลำ] means to sing in a certain tune or rhythm.

Thai silk is a world-renowned product whose name is synonymous with luxury and beauty. Other than its commercial worth, Thai silk also holds significant cultural values.
Sericulture and weaving, which have helped to sustain the people of Thailand for ages, are all special processes that require great time and care. These knowledges are preserved in the delicate fingers of the weavers who pass down their skills from generation to generation.
Recently, a Thai silk dress has been in the music video of the song "LALISA" by Korean-based Thai singer.

Thai-style embroidery (ผ้าปัก) is a cr

Thai-style embroidery (ผ้าปัก) is a craft that originated in the royal court. Today, pictorial embroidery often depicts subjects from literature or nature, and requires great skill and tremendous attention to detail. Expert embroiderers can create extremely realistic effects by playing on the silk thread’s sheen and careful shading using, for example, as many as five shades of green to delineate a leaf. A large, intricate piece of embroidery can require many embroiderers working full-time for months to execute. The largest embroidery project undertaken to date took more than 120 skilled artists two years to complete. Portraying scenes from Thai history and folklore, this masterpiece was created for an exhibition at the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in Bangkok, which commemorated two special occasions: the 60th Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s accession to the throne in 2006, and His 80th birthday in 2007.
