Abstract: |
Her Majesty Queen Sirikit has worked with great pragmatism, to help the poorest rural communities to earn extra income; a sector of society, which so often struggles to subsist on a farm income alone. The Queen, has consequently promoted the traditional Thai arts and crafts, especially Thai silk and Thai costumes, which have become world famous. Her Majesty the Queen, also promotes tolerance and understanding of the Muslim minorities, in the southern provinces of Thailand. The Queen pays special attention to the indigenous cottage industries and handicrafts, supporting all kinds of regional projects, through Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s ‘SUPPORT Foundation’ |
