"Northern Thailand.
In the 1970s, His Majesty the King, long a promoter of agricultural development, tried to wean tribal groups in the north of Thailand from their economic reliance on opium cultivation by substituting other crops. At the same time, Her Majesty encouraged their traditional cotton-weaving and embroidery by providing outside markets for their textiles through the SUPPORT Foundation. The modern photographs show Karen, Yao, and Lisu weavers and embroiderers at work."
