"Chian Yai district, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, southern Thailand.
Neun Thammang, on the Gulf of Thailand, often suffers from floods and the economic distress they bring. To help, Her Majesty established a SUPPORT center here in 19th century, which revived the gold brocade (phaa yok) weaving the province was famous for in the 19th century. Historic textiles were used as prototypes for the modern versions. They are among the most labor-intensive of SUPPORT textiles, often requiring four or five weavers to operate each loom."
