Abstract

          This article aims to present the wisdom and inheritance of Thai Phuan’s hand – woven, Ban Mai, Nakhon Nayok. Thai Phuan’s hand – woven wisdom is reflected through the process of weaving, and dyeing with Weft Ikat technique. The unique design involves Thai Phuan’s belief with regard to the spirit and the sanctity, propitiousness and faith in Buddhism.


          The problem of passing on Thai Phuan Ban Mai has four main aspects. 1) There are few communicators and most of them are elderly. 2) The problem of cultural content and discontinuity of passing on the wisdom. 3) The problem with inheritance transfer; today, the main method is only from Thai Phuan’s hand-woven handicraft women’s group. 4) Most successors are elderly, while the younger generation is disinterested.


          The way of wisdom inheritance is divided into three ways : 1) Forming the communicators and successors group both the elder and the younger. 2) Increasing the channels of inheritance through the government sector and community with systematic management and integration. 3) Inheritance of wisdom content by creating a document to prevent it from extinction along with communicators.
