The tour included four weaving communities: Songkhla’s Mee Dee Natab group, Lamphun’s Ta Kien Pom group, Sakon Nakhon’s Donkoi Sustainable Village, and Chai Nat’s Nern Kham group.
Each village, according to Suttipong, symbolizes Thailand’s dedication to sustainability as part of Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya’s mission.
Alisjahbana concluded her tour by praising the Thai people for their “fashion sustainability” movement, which she established utilizing her knowledge and experience in fashion design to lead to breakthroughs in sustainable development as well as greater personal income for the villages.
