                                           Pha Poom    manuscripts (about 50 to 100 entries/binds) were found to

                                                       prosperous and was the center of education with various
                                                       arts and religious sciences (Wattana Puengchuen, 2017).

                                                       importantly, Pha Ho Kham Phi. The working group of the

                                                       of these fabrics such as silk, Mat Mee, Indian printed, satin,
