During this exhibition, King Rama VI spoke to Chao Phraya Phra Sadet Surantra thibodi (Pia Malakul), one of the educators who was influenced by modern ideas from the West, saying: "Being a handicraftsman, I as a king dare to insist that it is not poorer than being a clerk or an official, as many people are misunderstanding. This craftsman should be praised and raised as well. If he can make his way in trading or handicraft, I may promote him as a nobleman like one who is the official.
