In July 21, 1976 the Queen Sirikit decided to establish the Foundation For the Promotion of Supplementry Occupations and Related Techniques in order to increase income for those poor in the remote areas. Thai silk is not only part of the jobs this foundation aims to perform, but also promoting Thai custom and tradition through our handicrafts. This foundation is located throughout the country, representing the generosity of Her Majesty the queen to all Thais.
