Phen Siri Thai Silk Handicraft Center was established to preserve and continue the art of Lamphun Yok Dok silk weaving, which was influenced by the royal court of Lamphun during the era of Princess Dara Rasmi. Yok Dok silk is unique for its raised patterns created by inserting extra silk, gold, or silver threads into the fabric.

Visitors can watch skilled artisans working on traditional wooden looms that require high concentration and expertise. Some complex patterns take several days to complete, with progress sometimes limited to only a few centimeters per day, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship involved.

The center also features a museum zone displaying antique Yok Dok textiles, traditional Lanna costumes, and historical information about silk weaving passed down through generations, including knowledge about pattern design and natural dyeing techniques.

This destination is ideal for cultural travelers, handicraft enthusiasts, students, and visitors seeking premium silk products or meaningful souvenirs unique to Lamphun.

More than just a shopping venue, the center is a “living heritage learning space” where visitors can truly experience the cultural value and artistry of Thai silk traditions.
