“A central production and learning hub for Na Muen Si handwoven textiles, a well-known local heritage fabric of Trang Province, recognized for its unique patterns and high-quality craftsmanship.”
Na Muen Si Weaving Group was established to preserve and continue the traditional wisdom of local handwoven textile production that has been passed down through many generations in Na Muen Si Subdistrict, Na Yong District, one of the oldest communities in Trang Province. The fabrics produced here are distinguished by their intricate patterns and unique color combinations, especially the rare traditional motifs that are increasingly difficult to find today.
This place is not only a production site but also a learning center that welcomes visitors to observe the entire weaving process, from yarn preparation, natural dyeing, to traditional handloom weaving. Visitors can closely experience the traditional hand-weaving techniques and gain a deeper understanding of the meticulous craftsmanship behind each piece of fabric.
The group offers a wide range of products, including fabric pieces, sarongs, ready-to-wear clothing, and handcrafted souvenirs made from handwoven textiles. These products are highly popular as valuable OTOP products, appreciated for both their cultural significance and aesthetic beauty. In addition, the weaving group plays an important role in generating sustainable income for the local community.
