In an era where money rules the world, there is a community nestled in the heart of Bangkok that still preserves its old way of life. Baan Krua, the oldest Muslim community in Thailand has been engaged in Thai weaving since 1787, which includes a long association with Thai silk king Jim Thompson.

At the age of 89, Sithar Lhamo continues her dedication to weaving in Lhuentse’s Khoma village, renowned for its Kishuthara. Commencing her weaving journey at the age of 13, Sithar now holds the title of the oldest weaver in Khoma.
