Located in Tambon Tha Sawang, Surin, the village has a weaving plant in ancient style. Silk woven here is produced from very fine thread of silk, dyed naturally, and woven with delicate pattern from the past. The village produces also ancient style cloth called Pha Yok Thong, which is woven from pure silver line and golden-coloured silk. The village is 8 kilometres from Surin City.
In Ban Sawai, Ban Chan Rom and Ban Khwao Sinarin, the silk production has unique, Cambodian-influenced, patterns. The silk threads used here are highly delicate, soft, lustrous and of highest quality. The silk threads are dyed with colors from natural ingredients. For instance, red color comes from lac, and yellow color from turmeric. These threads are woven tightly and elaborately to yielddiverse patterns.
