Queen Sirikit Department of Sericulture Hosts '4 Regions Silk Fair' in Khon Kaen
The Queen Sirikit Department of Sericulture is hosting a major silk exhibition in Khon Kaen from September 23 to 27, showcasing traditional craftsmanship from across Thailand.
The Queen Sirikit Department of Sericulture has launched the '4 Regions Silk Fair,' an event dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage of Thai silk. Held in Khon Kaen, the exhibition runs from September 23 to 27, 2026, and serves as a platform to highlight the unique weaving techniques and cultural wisdom found across Thailand's four main regions.
According to Matichon Online, the event aims to promote the value of Thai silk by bringing together artisans and experts to share their traditional knowledge. For residents and visitors, this fair offers a rare opportunity to observe authentic craftsmanship, purchase high-quality silk products directly from regional producers, and gain a deeper understanding of the historical significance of sericulture in Thai society.
While the event provides a comprehensive look at regional silk traditions, potential attendees should note that the fair concludes on September 27. Those planning to visit are encouraged to check local schedules for specific daily activities or workshops that may be held on-site. As of now, the department has not announced plans for similar large-scale exhibitions in other provinces following the conclusion of this event in Khon Kaen.
